No, all I know about it is that it's a generic 35mm T adapter which allows any 35mm camera to attach. What you do is remove the lens and screw the telescope on like it's a lens. You use it's focus and everything. I hope I still have it, it's been years since I used it last, and I used it on a film SLR.

We mentioned you and everyone was wondering why you didn't come. Panda was also talking about how you installed her angel eye headlights, great job dude! They looked fantastic! I don't suppose you wanna do my car? I'll pay you! I wanna do it but I know I'll f' it up. It looked really, REALLY good. Like a stock bimmer.

Do you remember what brand of film SLR you used it on? Different brands have different lens mounts.

I didn't see this thread until I got home so I didn't know people were meeting up. Been busy all day and no one called me to meet up with you guys. Had my camera and tripod ready, but my other friends didn't want to go.

Get the parts and I can do it.

Last night kinda sucked for me, there were a crapload of people up where I went, and then the bay fog/clouds rolled in and I ended up going home at like 12:45. I should've made the trek down there with you guys.

Where were you posted up? We were just passed the entrance to the park. The fog/clouds started to roll in. We left I think around 2 when the clouds just about caught up to us.

There definitely were a TON of cars parked by the park.

We dont even need a meteor shower to meet up and do this again. There wasn't that many meteors anyway... Like 1 every 3-5 mins... Not all that great or exciting. Only reason it was fun was due to the great company and it would have been better with you and some others there. Lets do it again, and this time on a regular night so we dont hit a traffic jam on the mountain like last night. Mt Hammy was PACKED! Hella people all over the place.

We're better off if it's just us, and lets do it when there's no moon. You down? We'll get a bunch of us and this time bring chairs and blankets instead of standing around or sitting in the dirt.

You're right actually, last night my battery terminal got disconnected for just a brief moment and my clock reset which explains the time diff. I was gonna say, we were there for daaaaaaays, but your theory makes much more sense.
