Thanks Rally,

That is something to consider when attempting to re-purpose older things. Sometimes technology is its own worst enemy.

BTW, the bayonet ring came off quite simply by loosening the 3 set screws in it. That revealed a ring much like a moonlight focuser with a groove that the set screws would set into. The optical tube is threaded, extends about 1/4" from the body and is 1.254" in diameter. Photo attached...

Seems like there are still possibilities for it if I can adapt to a M42 male thread... then it should fit a T-ring adaptor, correct? I just need to watch the spacing and not allow it to get to big.
