Most of the cadioptric mirror 'scopes have a better solution than the
slightly sloppy adapters that fit in the eyepiece tube. The adapter that
holds the eyepiece or diagonal unscrews from the back of the 'scope and
an adapter tube of the correct length and with a T adapter thread on the
back screws onto the scope. I have this for my Meade 90mm (objective
diameter, not FL) and it makes for a nice rigid connection. The 'scope
mounts on the tripod with the camera hanging on the back.

fit into the scope focusser and you attach your camera to them with
the correct T-Mount. They are really just milled metal tubes which are
fixed or can be adjusted. I've been toying with the idea of making one
out of drainpipe as they are quite expensive for what they are. I know
that Meade definitely make and sell them and I dare say that many
other firms also do them too but I've never checked. Hope this helps.
