I have purchased a second hand newtonian easy guider, and I'm not certain if I have all of the parts. Would someone who has one take a look at theirs and tell me if this sounds right?
This may be a bit hard to describe, but here goes. I have the main body of the guider, complete with prism, and a tube for the eyepiece. This all seems fine, but then there is a small ring that fits in the side of the guider where the camera goes. The ring has threads inside of it (female threads). The ring has a groove around the outside, but I can't really seem to get it to stay in the guider very well (seems wobbly). My t-ring for my camera is not handy now (actually in a different town), but if I recall correctly the threads on it are female, which would require male threads, does that sound right? Also, I seem to recall that the t-ring is slightly smaller, but I could be mistaken there too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
dan
