Hi Anthony,

For use at prime focus you'll need a T-ring Mount adapter which you've already purchased and a Nose piece which screws in to the telescope side of that adapter. The Nose piece should be such that it suits the focuser of your telescope, probably 2 inch in diameter, but you never know, it may differ.

Also not all Newtonian telescopes are immediately amenable to use with a camera as they may not come to focus within their focal travel range which is typically designed for use with eyepieces and may require some telescope mods (often moving the primary mirror) to achieve focus with a camera as opposed to an eyepiece.

You may need to research/ask your vendor if your particular scope can be used with a camera with or without mods, depending on its focuser design and travel.

BTW and out of interest the Panasonic G7 uses the same µ4/3 sensor as the 1600mc type cameras

Best
