I thought I'd post a few pictures of a mounting bracket for a point-and-shoot camera, since this kind of thing doesn't seem to be available from the sextant vendors. You can use your own 3D printer or get it printed at a service bureau like Shapeways---the ballpark cost for small objects like these might be $15 plus shipping. I can provide the CAD files if there's interest. I'm sure a skilled machinist could simply machine it on a one-off basis from Delrin or aluminum, though. Cheers, Peter
