As you are using a refractor telescope you will need a field flattener, something like the sky watched field flattener: https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reducersflatteners/skywatcher-field-flattener.html

Attach that onto the t adapter then slide it into the focuser. You can also use a reducer to give a wider field of view when imaging. If you want to invest into a reducer get the one that is recommended for that scope and preferably one that has a flattener built into it too. Hope this helps

This one : https://telescopes.net/store/orion-48mm-wide-t-ring-canon.html will enable you to use a 2" nosepiece : http://www.opticstar-ccd.com/Run/AS/AS-Accessories-Imagers.asp?p=0_10_5_0_3_727
which will give you a large opening for your large sensors. Instead of the nosepiece you cam also use a Skywatcher reducer or flattener which have M48 thread, or powermate when using M48-T2 adapter

I would go for this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/reducersflatteners/skywatcher-85x-reducer-flattener-for-ed80.html

and this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/adapters/flo-adapter-for-skywatcher-focal-reducers.html
