Lunt 50 Ha & Canon DSLR focus

[DRT]

I have a Lunt 50 Ha and a Canon EOS 650D but cannot find the focus point with the camera.

I have a Baader T2/2" Adapter for Canon EOS but it does not work when using either the T-Ring attached directly to the Lunt wedge or using the nose piece inserted into the 2" adapter that comes with the wedge.

Has anyone successfully attached a DSLR to one of these little helical focusers before?

The Lunt 50 is not compatible with a DSLR at prime focus. Lunt say they are working on a specific adaptor hence the spare ring supplied with the scope. I wouldn't hold your breath though. There is insufficient in-focus in its current set up. I circumvent this issue by using eyepiece projection and my Baader EPs. If you check my link below you can see the full disc result from this method.

Note also that the same lack of in-focus occurs when using the 2" Lunt EP adaptor on the Lunt 50. FLO very kindly refunded me after this purchase.

I have a Lunt 50 B600.  The helical focuser is very limited on in-focus, and certainly won't achieve prime focus with a DSLR.  I'm currently using a ZWO ASI120MM with good results.

Thanks guys - I just read lots of grumbles about this focuser on Cloudy Nights. Aparently there is a Borg focuser that can be made compatible and gives an extra 5mm of inward focus but it pains me to shell out another £150 simply because the supplied equipment is sub-standard.

Grrrr.

I managed to snap and fiddle around with this on my iPhone to cheer myself up.

Not quite Hubble, but the best I can do for now...
