I wonder if your camcorder would even work on the Grim. Is the focus
point the same as for most eyepeices? It might be interesting to hook it up prior to Star Party and project Saturn or Jupiter on a computer screen. Perhaps there will be an event to podcast sometime.
Y'all might want to check with Bruce about that. The way I understand it he recently moved the primary back so there would not have to be so many extension tubes behind the eyepiece to achieve focus and that pretty well eliminated the ability to focus a camera (well, unless a barlow is used).
