Ok so I've had a few attempts at adjusting my telescope to work with my Nikon DSLR but the biggest issue I seem to be facing is that my telescope uses M7 bolts to hold the mirror cell.
Does anyone happen to know of a reasonably cheap place to obtain some m7 bolts of 100mm or more?
Currently I have the longest M7 bolts I could get (60mm) bolted to a bracket then into the back of the telescope mirror cell and m6 bolts bolted to the nearby holes on the bracket and out the back of the telescope... this obviously isn't ideal as it means the strain is split over two bolts and the connection is off center... but I will see if I can at least get some results to find out if I'm in the ball park.
