Hah this is ghetto as s@#t but it works perfectly!
So basically what I looking for in a mount for this telescope was Flexability, The ability to adapt multiple cameras, it'd block surrounding light because i often shoot from a suburban area and the street lights can mess with longer exposures if its a certain type of mount. and I needed it to not weigh all to much.
So anyways I combed through the house and found a red plastic bottle.. with the exact diameter of the telescopes base.
So after some ghetto rigging this is what it looks like.

(focus sucks but its just a test shot to see if everything lines up)

(much better focus)
I'll post more later. But this was mainly made to shoot video without wobblin all over the place or constantly f@#king up the alignment between the camera and the lens.
But i need to make another adapter that'll fit this adapter to use the higher power lens or the Barlow (zoom cheating tubes)
