Simple modification of this great EF mount. Thank you, AlexEnglish!
I did not believe it at first, but it really does fit tightly.
With this you can take photos through any telescope, as long as you reach focus (No problem with a 102/1300 Maksutov, could not get in far enough on a 76/300 newton-dobson though).
These adapters usually cost €20 ($28) from a telescope shop, and this probably 5% or less, depending on material, support and setting.
The Mak does have a T2 mount, but for using a barlow, this is a quick and inexpensive solution! :-)
Needs fixing in the future:
Spacer, so tightening the tube into the focuser is easier (now the focuser screws are pressing directly against the EF mount disc)
(Sidenote for the DailyEarring project: It'll be back. Sorry for the hiatus. In the mean time, enjoy the printer live-cam at http://up.no-ip.org:8888 untill my site is back up :-) )
