Material needed:

One 4 -5 inch long and 3/4 inch wide Aluprofile, one "tube wall mount", one Tripod-Photo- Screw. Total cost less than 10 US$.

The aluprofile and the "tube wall mount" you get from the market for building goods. The photoscrew you get either from an old unsuable tripod or buy a new one in the photoshop.

When you buy the "tube wall mount" take your eyepiece with you to select the right diameter size. Into the aluprofile you have to drill a little slot to give the camera space to sclide to the eyepiece. On the front side of the aluprofile you have to drill a hole to screw the "tube wall mount" to the profile.

How to connect:

First screw the the "tube wall mount" to the aluprofile (very tight) (picture a), mount the eypiece into the tube mount, screw the camera to the profile (picture b), slide the eyepiece in the telescope and fix the eyepiece (picture c).
