Keith,

I use my MallinCams on several scopes, one of which is a truss tube AstroSystems TeleKit. I run two wires up the poles - a 12 VDC power cable and an S-video cable. I use Velcro straps to secure them to one of the trus poles. The 12 VDC goes to a splitter at the upper cage where it provides power to the DewGuard on the secondary mirror, the MallinCam and the Watec 3.5" monitor. I use a short 1' BNC to BNC cable to provide the video to the Watec. I use the s-video from the camera to go to a Speco VM-905C monitor that sits on a table away from the scope.

Regarding the current wait time for a PAL camera, contact me at my e-mail address below.
