How big ccd can I mount on a Xagyl filter wheel?

Hello!

I got a 19 mm thick Xagyl filter wheel (1,25" filter) for my planetary ASI120MM camera and I am dreaming of to buy a deep sky camera for that filter wheel to do some DSO photos. But how big sensor can I have and is there anybody here that have a working combination that can write anything about it? Maybe a Kodak 8300 mono sensor could fit behind it?

I just picked up a QHY9 camera and I think it will work, I need some adapters now to get it work. One M42 male to M48 female to my telescope. And a Nikon F lens mount with a correct back focus distance to my filter wheel.

I am doing a new question here.

I got a 8" f/4 newtonian telescope with GPU Aplanatic coma corrector. It has a male M48 thread, I also own a QHY9 camera with a Xagyl 5 position filter wheel. I need to connect these to together and I want to add a off-axis guider between them.

QHY9 + T2 thread to Xagyl filterwheel is 36 mm. The working distance for my corrector is 53.66 mm when connected to 800 mm focal length scope. I have 17.66 mm free to go, I have not calculated the Baader 1.25" filters that I have in my filter wheel. It should add the length a little bit but I have at least 17.66 mm that needs a female M48 thread in one end and in the other end a male M42 thread. Any suggestions about which off-axis guider I need to buy? I have looked at the TS 9 mm OAG but I am not sure if it fits on my correctors thread.
