And yes, had guessed what thar recess was for, the non-slipage factor... was just liking the idea of threads at both ends for security....

Where do your 1.25" eyepieces go on the scope at the moment? If you need a diagonal to reach focus with eyepieces, you'll most likely also need it for the Powermate too.
Imagine that you have your scope set up with a 1.25" eyepiece and it's in focus. You would first connect up the pieces in the following order:
PowerMate (with female 1.25" holder removed) --> Powermate to T-ring adapter --> T-ring to EOS adapter --> DSLR.
Next, you'd remove the 1.25" eyepiece from the diagonal. Then place the entire PowerMate and DSLR assembly from above into the diagonal where the eyepiece used to be. Turn on the camera and re-focus the image (either LiveView or through the computer).
I hope that explains it?
