For SCT, you use Canon EOS T-ring, then either T-SCT adapter or Meade Filp mirror systems.

For refractor, if the visual back is 2", use EOS T-ring, then T-2" adapter.

Canon EOS T-ring is attaching to the camera then i still need others...too right?

That's why I said, "then T-SCT adapter or Meade Flip mirror system" and " T-2" adapter ".

Hi,
Basically, you'll need a T-Ring for your DSLR. A T-adapter is required (if not using off-axis guider or flip-mirror system) at the telescope side if your telescope don't have a built-in T-Adapter. There are a few types of T-Adapter:
1) 2" T-Adapter - for telescope with 2" visual back or focuser.
2) 1.25" T-Adapter - for telescope with 1.25" visual back or focuser.
3) SCT to T-Adapter - for Meade/Celestron SCT telescope with SCT thread.

You can also use the following instead of a T-Adapter which all end with a T-thread to connect to your T-Ring:
1) Off-Axis Guider - if you are using Off-Axis Guider.
2) Flip-Mirror System - if you are a Flip-Mirror System.

If you are using those standard F6.4 focal reducer for SCT, it recommend that you use the SCT to T-Adapter to maintain the proper distance between the camera and the focal reducer.

Below is the pictures for how the connection is done using a 2" T-adapter:

Have a nice day.

Hi,
You can get it from Astro-Bargain: http://www.astrobargains.com/Astro-misc.htm

By the way, you may want to get the SCT-T Adapter instead if you are using a SCT.

Have a nice day.
