6F81F3E1-58A1-4A36-A669-471B8B83E506.jpeg trying  to attach a canon R5 to my LX 200 SCT. This is the accessory chain I have so far. Am I missing anything. Also, the distance between the focal reducer and the camera sensor is around 105 mm but not exact. Is that going to be a big deal. The reducer calls for a 105 mm distance.

The Meade T-Adapter gives 55mm Backfocus from the FR to a "normal" DSLR, so the T2-EOSR should make up the distance.

 

Try it out, and if the corner stars are elongated, examine the direction the corner stars are pointing, to say whether more or less Backfocus is required.
