Well I'm afraid my 'workshops' is much less sophisticated than yours from the little I've seen. So I cheated horribly - I got a T2 helicoid focuser from scopes n skies (in their 'astroboot') for £12, screwed on an T2 holder for 1¼" eyepieces and a T2 to 52mm adapter (possibly with a T" male/male connector?) the intention has always been to mount it directly on the camera, but I've got a massive list of projects to work on & not enough time (all spent on the web???)

I must start using my tripod/macro rail so I can be a bit more scientific about my trials....
