I resurected my wifes old camera, not as good quality for close up but usable.

Picture 1 - 1.25" adaptor still together and EOS - "T" adaptor.
Picture 2 - Unscrew the 1.25" adaptor then lower half of 1.25" adapator screwed into EOD adaptor (upper half of the 1.25" adaptor not used).
Picture 3 - EOS adptor and lower 1.25" adptor inserted into the camera.
Picture 4 - Camera and attachments inserted into the scope.

This method provide me 30mm extra focus adjustment without making anything special, but this option is not available on all focusers. If your focuser does not have this thread capability then you will need to manufacture something to do the same job. Due to the size of the "T" thread it can only be done on a 1.25" focuser adaptor.
