Thanks Peter!!! See the .stl imported.
Your idea is a good idea. Perhaps Ken Gebhart, Celestaire, wants to commercialize this mount in metal alloy, or aluminium?
regards.

Hi Andrés, > Please Peter, could you send me the CAD files, I use SolidWorks. The files are attached. You should be able to import the STL into SolidWorks. The source files are in OpenSCAD, and they're not properly parametric---they contain lots of hardwired numbers. A better design would have parameters to adapt to different sorts of sextant mounts and camera-optical-axis locations. Cheers, PeterAttached File: 125185.camera_adapter.zip (no preview available)
