Hi,
You mean eyepiece projection on Olympus DSLR?? If yes, you'll need a T-Ring for Olympus DSLR and a Eyepiece projection adapter. Please note most Eyepiece projection adapter only accept small size 1.25" eyepiece.

You should be able to get Olympus DSLR T-Ring and the Eyepeice projection adapter at Astro Bargains ( http://www.astrobargains.com/Astro-misc.htm ) or Astro Scientific Centre ( http://www.astro.com.sg/ ).

Have a nice day.

Hi,
By the way, if you intend to connect your DSLR to your 114GT, I don't think you can mount your telescope in the way shown in your photo... the mount motor may not be able to handle the weight as the front may be too heavy.

I think you may need to reposition (balance) the scope, so that the weight of the front and back of the scope is around the same without hitting the base of your mount when pointing at high angle.

Have a nice day..
