ED80 adapter

cross-posted from DSLR astrophotography - I thought this might be the better forum.

Hello all,
I just picked up an Orion ED80 here, and want to connect my Nikon D50. I have several T-rings and the adapter for the camera end, but would have to use several layers of tape to get a snug fit in the 2" EP holder. I was hoping for a rigid connection using the threads on the end of the focuser draw tube. Closest thing I've found is the 'True 2' at telescopeadapters.com, but it still is an insert into the 2" EP holder. Is that my best bet?

Thanks and CS,

Shawn
