Problem solved with adapter,, slide button,, not a push button.. So a happy chappy,
While I was trying to separate the lens from adapter ,I found it has a screw in section,, I split it it and fitted in my filter wheel out of curiosity ,, marrys up OK but Acts like a macro tube on a Normal DSLR,, I was using a 18-55 lens and could not achieve focus in the house,,, snowing again in Brigadoon . Waiting on faster lenses coming and FD adapter arrival

Very true ken,, but I will be looking at different size lenses,, want big sky images and right to more close up shots,, This is for my hall of shame photo gallery in my flat,, as said before ,,painting it black with added silver sparkle stuff,, to give it a space look,, then hoping to get some image's done and hung up,,,something different.

So toys arrived today,, got the correct adapter,,, eos to FD,, and stuck it on canon 600d,, ERM,,, doesn't focus on both lenses,,, mmmm bo--ocks. So next up ,, Zwo to eos adapter to eos to FD ,,all hooks up ,,needs testing
And next up part2 DSLR lenses all fit to filter wheel,, just waiting on a canon eos t mount to t2 fitting and will be able to test both eos kit lens and FD lenses with filter wheel fitted. Got in four piece t2 mixed size adapter set,, bang on no hassles,, bargain.
Also in today was the ball head adapter for the star adventurer,, £20 from eBay cracking bit of kit.

Hopefully t ring arrival will be before then and can test dslr filter wheel combo

Cheers Howie,, would rather not have damaged the original but,, it's done,,just move on,,, this is a big improvement on original and looks better,, I could have just put up with the slight tightness then slack but,, I think I was just more annoyed at myself,, will need a new electric focuser ,bit missing to fit on ed80,, will repair old focuser as a spare
