Barb, The eyepiece holder is is a plastic bayonet fitting rear lens cap. The 1.25" EP holder is from an old focuser. i simply drilled a hole in the back with a hole saw, and then eposied in the EP tube, using a bubble level to make sure it was square with the focal plane.

The cool thing is that you can use the lens focus ring to focus if you lock th eyepiece in the right position. I must try this eyepiece on the 70-200mm zoom that is gathering dust .
