Does anyone remember a "wind up" camera clock drive used for astrophotography? - clock camera
Back in the 70s, advirtised astronomy magazine Sky & Telescope "for" clock camera unit, which I think, German built and used to the stars, planets, etc. It is quite acturate and supposibly track was not so expensive (I bought one, but long since forgotten what happened). If anyone has the name, or if they still do? Is there a place on the Internet that has a picture of it?

That's so 1970 of you. They are precise electronic control, battery, now that the units are relatively inexpensive.
My grandfather was one of the 70's, 1870 to be exact, but why should the old gem, as it seems a bit weird for me.
It is a difficult task for a mechanical toy to be "fairly accurate" and "capable of stars and planets, etc., to identify" and "used for astrophotography. I'm sure the Chinese have done, and they threw in the glass for good measure, also very fruitful.
