using prime focus method on a 10" Newtonian.

i have just purchased the hutech 2" adapter and ring and it does not move..... no camera slop or wobble
i did have previous a cheap chinese optex and it used to move everywhere
pay more money........ it is well worth it

go down to your local camera stor and ask for a T2 -->M42 adaptor they are about 30-50 bucks depending.

Your using a Newt make sure you get a MPCC

Here is a supplier that sells them at the proper price i can vouch for Peters speed and quality of service! the MPCC is half way down the page.

Make sure you get a good set of collimating tools. cats eye does the job right, but there are others too.

And if you still find you get some very minor slop, build up the T ring bayonet with some teflon tape. Usually 1 layer or 2 if it's a little loose. Works a treat - esp the cheaper tape you get from Bunnings etc.

BTW, nice camera the 7D!
