PC182XS video camera attached to gutted 18mm Kellner eyepiece

The PC182XS is 600 TV line resolution B/W video camera with a .0003 lux (yes, 3 zeros) Sony CCD. The heat sink is functional when imaging the moon, otherwise it provides strain relief for the wire, which is kinda tied onto it. The black and white lunar and planetary images in my astrophotography gallery were taken with this.
