Hello all, I hope to use the Astrophysics CCDT67 reducer in an image train the includes an aptura tilt adjuster in front of the TPO focuser with a Canon T2i for starters
I am assuming I need a t ring on the camera with an M48:female thread. Can anyone suggest an image train that has worked for f5-f6 range reduction I have 5,10, and 20 mm spacers avail and can get 5,8,19, and 20 mm M48 spacers

Something like mirror cell rear- spacer(s)- aptura tilt adjuster - focuser - reducer/m48;spacers -- m48 female ok e thread of trying.
Id be interested in specific spacing that has worked for anyone? I assume the reducer goes in the focuser like a 2 inch eyepiece and that there is a range of reduction with growing compromises in image quality. Can anyone improve my understanding? Thanks
Yes I know about sag and weight stress on collimation those are issues for the next layer I suppose
