I was asked how the eyepiece adapter work.
I'll post pics of what I use for 1.25 connectivity to the 6" reflector that came with my Advanced VX.
I have to post here first and then attach from the phone so bear with me..
The adapter that I have is a kit that allows me to use the T-mount with a 1.25 adapter, the T-mount directly to the tube or with an additional tube that a ocular lens goes into for added magnification.
I haven't done much with the reflector but the best shots so far have been pure afocal, no lenses added in..
I hope this isn't too confusing or disjointed.

The eyepiece adapter comes off and the tmount screws on

It looks like the camera mounts up close to the focuser and tube then.
Does the telescope's focus still operate the snout to fine focus for the exposure?

Do you ever use the 2" eyepieces? (Not on this scope, but on others?) And do you find them easier to view with?
Reviews (taken with a grain of rock salt) state the 2" eyepieces are easier to view through.
Is that your experiance?

Lastly, SCT... or 6" refractor?

Focus is done with the telescope focus rack.
I use the 2" more than the 1.25 on my 11" , 8" SCT and on my 5" Orion refractor almost all the time. I have a 1.25" 30mm Celestron Ultima eyepiece that is extra sharp that I sometimes start with. I usually go back to the twos though. I have both of the Celestron sets, the 1.25's are Plossls and the 2" are ELux lenses.
The pics are of the 6" reflector that came with the tripod package.

This is the adapter that I initially bought.

This is the 2" adapter that I use on the SCT's it lets the camera mount just like adding a lens to the diagonal.

Lastly the adapter for Nikons.

Thank you very much for your help with this. I hope the explanation will help others wondering, but afraid to ask... ;)

I have an 8" reflector with a 2" focuser. I find that I get vignetting when using my full frame camera in prime focus position. I have no such problem with the crop sensor camera. Some scopes come with a 3" focuser and that would probably solve the vignetting problem.

A also find the 2 speed focuser is quite easy to get good focus. It would be horrible to do it with just the coarse only.

I also need to use a coma corrector with the scope. It inserts in the 2" holder in front of the camera. With a F3.9 reflector, the edges don't look so good, but with the coma corrector, stars are pin points from edge to edge.
