I think the t thread on your camera is the same size, I can post a pic if it will help. If you can't get hold of Steve I may have a mobile number somewhere.

Wouldn't mind seeing what you did... I've got the QHY-10, big question for me is whether the StarLight(T)-FD can be used with this camera.

PM his mobile if you have it... I'm willing to take a chance on the spacing, but only if there's a possibility of making it work.

OIC!
