From your information the Baader Skywatcher adaptor (# 2956256) is M56x1 so have I the same problem as Col, needing an adapter between the two slightly differing threads. I wish there was some standardisation between Eastern manufacturers!
Col, if you decide to go ahead - let me know and I will get an adaptor as well.
John, the adapter you need would be different from the one Col needs as on yours the M56 0.75 thread on the prism is female while on Col's Tak draw tube it is an M56 0.75 male thread on the outside.

I'm just waiting for my adapters to be completed to see how well they fit.
Ordering from Rafael is easy, you just need a drawing of the part you need.
For my second one I just sent a rough hand drawn sketch...

This one lets me use Tak CAA 21200 on the FOA60
