Default Attaching WO refractor to Canon 600D DSLR

I have a William Optics Megrez to which I attached a Canon G2 some years
ago. It was a bit of a fiddle and not a huge success.
It involved screwing an adaptor which included a lens to the camera and
sliding it into the scope. It wasn't cheap.
We now have a Canon 600D DSLR and would like to try attaching it to the
Megrez. I'm sure someone here has done so and in the spirit of the newsgroup
would save us a lot of grief by making some useful suggestions. Thank you.

Williams Optics shows a 2" camera adapter on the web site in case you
want all WO attachments. You also need a Canon EF mount t-ring from a
good camera store (or by mail order). You do need a good mount for
the telescope.
