Did your Vixen come with the flip mirror? because your camera adapter will screw straight onto it if you unscrew one of the tubes

It was extremely well packaged and looks the part.
I will have to get a 2" photo adaptor as my current method of attachment for my camera is a custom threaded adaptor for the vixen threads. This scope does have a thread on the back but it isn't the same.
Also I've had no experience with the 2 speed craford focusser and will have to work out how to lock it for imaging. It has a couple of screws underneath it that seem to tighten it but not lock it like the one on my vixen rack and pinion focuser.
