In fact, nothing more sophisticated than a plastic cable tie cut to length as shown in the accompanying image.The length at which to cut the cable tie was decided by taking a sight line through the top of the 'scope eyepiece and the tip of the cable tie and trimming the cable tie until the target object was in the centre of the 'scope eyepiece. Again, it must be emphasized that I have not tried this method for photographing BIF but at the cost of a few GB pence for a cable tie, it must be worth considering.</blockquote>
