Firstly, do you know the collar I referred to in my post? It has a bevelled end which fits into the focuser, and the other end has two chrome knobs on the side which stop a 2" eyepiece from falling out. You called it the 2" to 1.25" adaptor. It should say on the side of it " 2" eyepiece adaptor". Put this back in the box. Unscrew the 1.25" tube that your eyepiece slides into from the flat plate which fits directly into the focuser. Fit the T-ring to your camera and screw the flat plate into the female thread on the T-ring.
Hold the camera up to the focuser and tighten the knobs on the side of the focuser. You can now do prime focus imaging with a focal length of 1200mm. [good for the moon]. You can double the focal length by
using a barlow, but no room here to describe the method.
The projection adaptor is of no use to you as you can't focus without
an EP in it, so it serves no purpose, as the camera fits directly on the
focuser. Get this working first. The correct focus will be with the focuser
about 12mm from the fully in position.
