Here are some images of things I have been able to capture from

Conditions were not good enough for my ordinary digital camera to see the satellites, though they were plainly visible with the human eye.

XC-999 CCD in home-made primary focus mount The XC-999 is a high-performance CCD colour video camera shown here attached to the 10" Newt. with a home-made mount.
DSC00625
XC-999 CCD and the DIY mount The mount uses the 2" fitting for the Meade 10" Newt. and a 2" PVC "plug" normally used for plumbing applications.
DSC00626
XC-999 CCD and the DIY mount The plumbing fitting is a two-piece plug, one part of which fits snufly into the 2" lens fitting.
