 I am trying to hook up a Nikon N75 to my ETX90 with the t adapter and a
 T to T telescope variable telextender.  I have tried hooking it up with
 only the t adapter and with the variable telextender with my 26 mm
 eyepiece and I could not see anything out of the camera's eyepiece.  I
 also tried using it during the day and could hardly see anything out of
 the camera. I checked to make sure that the flip mirror control knob
 was in the right position and the cap was off of the scope.  I was
 thinking of getting the basic eyepiece adapter or the variable
 projection eyepiece adapter.  Any suggestions.  I am attaching a
 picture of the adapter that I have.  Thanks
