Why did you give up on focusing with a DSLR Wayne? It takes seconds
to attach a DSLR. Did you fall into the trap that countless other SW
owners have, and not understood the adaptor system? I really don't
want to sound patronising, but so many owners have had trouble
with the adaptor system, that I thought that you might be another one.
If I'm trying to teach my grandma to suck eggs, don't hesitate to say so.
Just discard the large 2"adaptor, unscrew the tube that 1.25" eyepieces
slide into from the bevelled plate that fits directly into the focuser, and screw the camera's T-ring onto the male thread that is revealed. All done.
Incidentally, Russell's pic shows that you can get decent images from an alt/az scope, not as good as the Tak,obviously,
but in a small fraction of the time.
