Can anyone suggest a way to piggyback a camera or attach a finder to a TMB 80/480. What accessory would I need.

A friend uses an SV 80/480 as his finder scope. (same objective, different, but similar tube.)
If you want a nice low power view, just put in something like a 40mm Paragon, or some other long wide angle eyepiece.
As for a camera, I'd be inclined to get a wider top plate for your mount that allows you to put the camera next to your scope.
Otherwise, I think Markus now sells CNC tube rings for that scope. They would allow you to attach a top plate between the rings, and it would be simple to mount just about anything to that.
