Mounting a Canon camera on an ED80

Hi All,

I have a Skywatcher ED80 and a Canon DSLR. At the moment I mount
the camera like this:

Camera
T ring
T to 2 inch adapter
2 inch 35mm long extension
Focuser

Alignment with this set up is pretty crap. Without the 2 inch extension
it's even worse.

Is there an aftermarket alternative to this set up? Is there an adapter
that screws on rather than using grub screws etc? Is there an aftermarket
focuser that makes all this neater and more secure?

I do use this set up for terrestrial shots, so long focus travel or extension
is necessary.

Thanks,
Jason.
