Question Canon FD Lens to a T-thread / AstroCamera

I've been trolling around for a way to hookup my canon lenses to a QHY-10. Anyone know where I can get the adapter? Everywhere I look, adapter's to a Canon FD Body...

I want to "borrow" my wife's FD lenses, as she is shooting digital now...

I've used FD lenses and an Sbig STL11. I got an adapter from Mogg adapters. As I recall there is an FD to EOS adapter available on Ebay.
I think I used both - the FD to EOS and the Mogg EOS to Sbig STL adapter.

Greg.

Does anyone know Steven Mogg? I've e-mailed him twice with no answer.

I'm trying to find an adapter and need some confirmation that what I am about to order will work.

Fwiw Steve didn't have anything in the way of correct spacing parameters to make an adapter for Canon FD to Orion Starshoot auto guider when I last contacted him. I McGuyvered one up by ratting a male FD bayonet from an old slide copier and aralditing it to a T thread from an Orion prime focus adapter which fitted the starshoot AG thread and allowed correct focus at infinity with a little to spare. 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.

You will have to remove the flange from the lens.
The rest is easy.
