I know I need a big eyepiece (2"?) because the G2 has a big lens. I know I need some kind of adapter to hold the camera steady at the eyepiece.
1) Is it better to get a T-adapter and ring like the one that works with the MaxView II eyepiece, or get one of those swivelling contraptions that clamps the camera to the back of the mount?
2) If the swivelling thing is better, is the one that Orion sells any good or is there a better one out there?
3) What would be a good eyepiece to get for this (not too much $$$) assuming I used it with my Megrez-II 80mm, and probably with my LX90 after I get a 2" diagonal for that (assuming I need a 2" eyepiece).
Thanks in advance

I've just started playing with using a G2 on the Orion SteadyPix with an Orion Lanthanum Superwide. The Superwide's got a big eye lens that the G2's lens seems to fit well, and the wide field doesn't vignette horribly.
The SteadyPix works fine, but requires a bit of fiddling to get everything lined up just so. I haven't used one, but I'd imagine the Digi-T is easier to use. there's a pretty big difference in price, though.
