Looking for an adapter for Offaxis guider to refractor

[[1ponders]]

I tried to solve this problem about 12 months ago (with much assistance from Erwin) and then decided to put it in the too hard basket. Well I've got the bee in the bonnet again and would like to solve this problem.

I'm interested in attaching an off axis guider to a refractor. Unfortunagely the thread at the rear of the refractor is T3 (same as the "t" adapter ring mount for attaching an slr), but the Off axis (female end) fits the SCT thread while the male is T3. I need an adapter (as short as possible) that is T3 female to SCT male.

Any suggestions.

Scopestuff in the US would be a good place to start.
Try http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_taff.htm I think this is what you are after. I normally just get a local machinist to spin one up.
