    Can you provide some more information such as the type of scope you are using?

    A photo of the setup would be great.

    Hi Bungaro,

    That scope should come with 3 different adaptor rings that screw onto the end of the focus tube.

    One is for 1.25" eyepieces, one is for 2" eyepieces, and the other should take the T-ring. This T-ring one is the only one that doesnt have thumb screws on it.

    Screw this T-Ring one onto the focus tube, and then screw the T-ring onto it.

    You then attach your camera to the (now screwed onto the focus tube) T-ring, and this should be it.


    If you dont have the particular adaptor that came with the scope you may be in trouble, as you will more than likely struggle with a lack of "in" focus with that particular scope. But if this is the case, there may be another way around the problem.

    Let us know if you have the 3 rings :)
