I used a photo-tube set up with my model 10. You need a trinocular
head, and one of several adapters for the camera port; I used an
accessorty tube that was designed to take an eyepiece and 35mm camera
mount. Other available accessories would allow a dedicated AO camera,
a video "c" mount, etc. Photo accessories are still readily available
for the AO's--they were used extensively for photo work in labs and
schools all over the world!!
