Hi. I've got one of these scope too, as have quite a few others on this forum.
Mine came with a 1.25" 25mm Plossl eyepiece instead of the 30mm EP, which I assume is a 2" EP. I have bought a 30mm Superview since and surprisingly to me, on my scope, if I drop it all the way into the focuser, it wont achieve focus. To achieve focus I drop it in about 12mm then clamp it.
I can't get prime focus with my DSLR, a Canon 1000D, but it does focus if I use my cheap 2x Barlow/camera adapter.

Must get a good one some day!
Did you get just a T ring for your Canon or T ring plus something to screw it onto?
I found hooking my DSLR up to my scope a frustrating but educational experience!

Cheers
