Attaching DSLR to Explore Scientific David Levy Comethunter

[JonathanA]

Hi,

My new Comethunter is arriving next week - hooray!

My question is how to attach a DSLR to the focuser. I know that I need to remove all the extension tubes to achieve focus but will the Nikon T ring thread directly to the drawtube on the focuser or do I need an adaptor? There doesn't seem to be a locking screw on the draw tube for a standard adaptor. Is there a screw in type adaptor?

Thanks.

A quick read of the sparse instruction manual gives no clues. The extension tube is screwed on to the focuser so the thread might match a t-ring. In which case you might only need a t-ring to attach the camera.
