KNicholas2 Yes, the solution has been around for decades, use a flip mirror diagonal, eyepiece can go in the top, camera on the straight through branch. You may need to adjust spacing for each to get them parfocal. Depending on the flip mirror bought you may also need the change the visual back on your scope with the 2 inch adaptor so the flip mirror can be fitted.

You manually flip the mirror via a knob on the side of the diagonal to change between visual and imaging without having to take anything apart.
