T-Mount adapter for ED80

[TidaLpHasE]

Hi all, I need some help finding an adapter that i don't know what it's called:o

It's what goes into the back of the scope, then the mirror diagonal, or the e/p goes into it.

The inside diameter is 32mm, and i need to get one with at least 43mm to fit to the Canon5D.

I have looked around, but only found items overseas, does anyone know where in Oz i could get one?

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_b2ce.htm not in AU but great to deal with , with my D70 I used the t-ring to suit and got a Scopestuff adapter TA2P http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_tadpt.htm to work with the orion 80ed {it has filter threads and i can hook up a meade focak reducer as well } also replaced the standard visual back that came with the orion 80ed {same one you pictured } with one from Scopestuff that uses compression rings http://www.scopestuff.com/ss_fas2.htm

Trevor,
not sure what you want here, but if I guess correctly you want to connect the 5D to the ED, correct?
If so you will need a T ring, this attaches the camera with the built in bayonet mount, to the telescope. A T ring has a thread on the telescope side, about 42mm with a fine pitch.
If I am correct the fitting you pictured will have that 42mm fine pitched thread as the thread at the most rear. Try it (or measure it). If so, the T ring will screw straight on. This gets you connected, but with a 1.25" opening it may impinge on the image a little, giving vignetting.

Here is the best I have found. Center of page.http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/borg/solution/35cam/35cam.htm

you will need three pieces the nosepiece, adapter ring and camera T-mount about $70 US all up.

As Gary said the "T" ring will screw straight onto the back of the 1.25" adapter you've shown in your image. If your looking for something to connect to the camera to insert into the Star Diagonal then you need the end of one of these. http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7408 The silver sleeve and ring that screw into the extender is removable and screws into the camera "T" ring. The camera can then be attached to the star diagonal. The biggest problem of doing it this way is an increase in vingetting.

;)Thanks for the advice, and sorry for not explaining it the best.

The links at scopestuff had what i need, and also accept paypal:), so i jumped straight in this morning and ordered the B2CE & the TA2P adapters.

I hope these will get the 5D into the back of the ED80.

If these don't work, i will send another transfer over to Hutech, no paypal on their site:sad:

Thanks again for your replies.
