Also I haven't quite figured to get a snug fit with all units while ensuring the camera is level. It is cantered about 10 degrees counterclockwise.

to hook your camera up to your telescope, you will need this. It goes on as easy as another other lens does. Just put on and twist. The only thing i did not like was the metal on metal sound when hooking it to the t-adapter. All in all, this is a great buy!!
