Flip Mirror with C8 EdgeHD

[Vic L S]

Hi all, 

I am wanting to use a flip mirror system (Baader Flip Mirror II is the one I'll be getting) with my C8 so that I can use an eyepiece and camera at the same time, for focusing/ platesolving purposes while observing and imaging. 

The C8 has different backfocus requirements (133.35mm w/o reducer, 105mm with x0.7 reducer) and I have all the right adaptors that came with my cameras (ASI462MC and ASI2600MC) to reach those requirements. 

If I add a flip mirror to the imaging train,  will I need additional adaptors to reach backfocus? I will be using it for mainly planetary observing and imaging. I have gotten a helical focuser for my eyepiece and a ZWO helical focuser for the 462MC.

Just trying to work out if I might need anything else to make sure it all comes together and it's making my brain hurt! Any help much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!

It's usually a similar backfocus as to how you do it straight through or with a diagonal. The only addition I needed was a 2 inch visual back adaptor because my flip mirror and diagonal are both 2 inch.
