Hi Brooke,
I remember being fascinated by the instructions on how to make a
camera obscura in Scientific American's _Amateur Telescope Making_.
I've now found the reference on-line: it's in volume 3, p. 419

best wishes,

Hi:
I've been watching the TV series Midsomer Murders on Netflix streaming
and in the Epsiode(S10E8) "Death in a Chocolate Box" there's a camera
obscura in the town square.

After some Googling I've found that it was a movie makers addition and
really does not exist.
But I really like the design. It has a rotating cupola that projects
the scene down onto a circular table in the center of the building.
Image non rotation not necessarily a mistake:

I've been reading about panoramic telescopes and panoramic sights
where the image stays put in the eyepiece when panning in azimuth.
Would anyone know of a design for such a camera obscura?
