The glass is premium quality which is on my side though.

With your suggestion and I believe Kevin(cometcatcher) has guided me once before to do the same, I may take the plunge and see if I can make it work.
Perhaps the Baader MIII?

Hi Anth, I think the Baader MIII is pretty much plug and play to use with a dslr and newt, well it was with my 1100d canon . I have now gone with a toag and that did require a lot of fiddling with spacers to match the two camera's up. And I should add that's a excellent pic of the Centaurus globular.
