Dual Mount/Piggy Back Mount - refractor + 350D

Hi guys

I'm after ideas on how to mount my 350D and the widefield refractor I bought, on top of my EQ6.

I ultimately want to do widefield photography with my 350D + lenses, and guide through the refractor hooked up to a ToUcam/DMK (for either manual or auto guiding).

The refractor + rings can be seen in this thread.

Should I somehow mount the 350D piggyback on top of that scope? If so, how do I mount the camera?

Should I get a side by side dovetail bar and put the camera on one and the scope on the other? If so, where do I obtain such a beast?

Appreciate any thoughts. I'm looking to get this setup soon so I can take it to BSG. I won't be taking my scope but wouldn't mind being able to do some widefield photography.

Thanks
