Help with T-Ring please

[Mcphisto]

Hi, I bought this T-Ring from e-bay for $18, and it had good reviews, people saying they just used it without an extension etc. But I'm having trouble working it out. It fits great to the camera, but when I try to put it on the back of the scope its nowhere near fitting. Obviously, I am new to this. The diameter of the hole scope side is 1 and 5/8"s or around 43 mm. What am I missing? Here's a pic of the t-ring and the description on the packet. Many thanks!

You will also need a nose-piece adaptor that fits into the focusser. http://www.firstlightoptics.com/adaptors/flo-125-inch-t-mount-camera-adapter.html

Ah!...That looks just right! Hopefully I'll find one on ebay too. Many thanks Mallorcasaint!

Is this the same thing Mallorcasaint? Only they dont seem to sell the ones from FLO here in Canada http://www.canadiantelescopes.com/Canadian-Telescopes-Largest-Collection-of-Celestron-Meade-Vixen-Televue-Telescopes-Canada?search=Celestron+T+Camera+Adapter+Universal+1+1%2F4+Inch

No it isn't I'm afraid. The adaptor screws into the T-ring. You should be able to get one on ebay here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-25-inch-T-mount-camera-adapter-/230799339051

Thanks mate. Cant go wrong at that price! I'll be ordering that tomorrow.

Just to be clear. Is the T ring you bought for a Canon EOS? Obviously you fit it where the lense would go and then screw the nosepiece into it. I just want to ensure that the nosepiece is the correct size.

Sorry for such a late reply, I only just noticed the bell reminder thingy at the top! My t-ring is for an Olympus E series camera, and I ordered the adapter from ebay and hopefully it should be here soon. Ive found a really dark site to try it out too!
