I've converted an acquired Meade DS2114 reflector [below]to an
astro-camera by swapping the corrector lens within the focuser with a
CCD camera [converting scope from f/9 to a fast f/4] and using a simple
'hole' to admit starlight as a lensless Schmidt camera to good effect.  
The mount tracks ok for brief exposures co-added on-the-fly for longer
exposures.



My homepage at www.astroman.fsnet.co.uk/lscmg.htm has details
and star pics.
