Can't get more basic...

Okay, I can find all the objects I want to see. I know how to use my GOTO and I've read-up on imaging and bought most of the kit. My problem is in joining things together.

How do you physically piggy-back a guide scope (Skywatcher Startravel 80 OTA) onto a NexStar 6se on a NEQ6 Pro mount with an SLR too? Tube rings, screws, dovetails? I don't understand how they all go together!!!

The Startravel 80 has two rings with 1/4" Whitworth threaded holes. The tops of the rings have a hole and a threaded screw with a collar. I have not seen any instructions or hints how this is supposed to work. I just don't get it.

Please enlighten me.

Basically you can use a set of rings to piggyback and then connect your camera(s) to the scopes. Guide camera to guide scope and imaging camera to imaging scope.
