I would rather mount with 2 "

asi 294 has m42 adaptor，and there is an m42 2"adaptor in the packet,you can connet the camera to the mpcc through 2"adaptor.
By the way,qhy 294pro is better i think,it can bin 11million pixels to 48million pixels.
qhy294更好一点

Hi,
I use this adapter plate. I fit onto the skywatch crayford focuser with a M54 thread. Inside is another thread where the mpcc coma correctot can be mounted. at the side of the camera is a M48 thread to mount the camera or extension tubes.
Here's the link to the adapter -> https://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p203

I can recommend this adapter because u can screw your parts in and everything is tightened. No worries about tilting of camera.

I appologies also for my google english.
