How to connect m48 t ring to telescope

[IamLost]

I recently bought an m48 t ring to connect my canon camera to my telescope, but don’t know what to connect the other end of the ring to. Also, how would I attach a 1.25” filter to the setup as well. The telescope I have is a skywatcher ed80. Thanks.

I think don't own an ed80 the M48 attaches directly to the drawtube on the focuser did you buy the scope new? as in the box if you bought the scope with all accessories finder diag etc etc There is also a 2” T ring camera adapter and a short extension tube. yes or no? then you can attach filters to that or buy an 1.25 adaptor like this

Yes I bought it new. The box didn’t contain a 2” ring but there was a smaller T-adapter tube thing but it doesn’t fit my m48

Yeah the m48 fits into the camera but idk what part of the telescope to connect it to

the m48 adaptor is for connecting to the field flattener, if you want to connect th camera to a std 1.25 camera adaptor you will need one of these instead
