In the box was a piece I think was used with a camera to take photos but I am not sure. No name anyplace but inner ring says Germany 1525. Nose piece will accept a .965 eyepiece barrel. Any ideas what this is?

The back half must be part of some additional adapter for a specific camera?

The eyepiece inside the adapter provides the barrel that goes into the focuser, unlike the Japanese eyepiece projection adapters that Meade and other companies sold: -Tim.

I'll take some pic's of the parts and post.

I will check.

On the sides of the Contaflex body lens mount bezel are some vertical grooves this slides into. The other part is most likely a microscope adapter though Zeiss might have made one that was telescope-specific.
