I am picking up my grasshopper3 camera at NEAF in about a week and see that it has got the possibility to screw fixing the USB3 cable. Where do you order such a cable?

Hi again Alexandra!
I did not see the fantastic display of suns when I first commented. This is really a first time for me. Fantastic idea!

Thank's everybody for nice feedback.
It was a fantastic event and it's hard to beat. The setting and surroundings were more than spectacular.
Next eclipse for me is in Oregon 2017. See you there?

My equipment is Lunt 100 DS and a DMK51.
