Imaging train focal length implications?

Just wanted to ask about focal length implications for CCD cameras and such on refractors. I am building a 127mm tube frame refractor (very much along the lines of the iStar TCR). At present I have conducted focal length testing and am ready to fix the backplate in position (and thus the focuser location). Before I do that I thought it wise to ask the experts about any allowance I should make in focal length and focuser placement for future imaging use of this scope. So any thing to consider? Thanks
