What T-adapter do I need?

Hi all,

Apologies for my beginner questions, I am setting up my first rig. I have a Nikon camera and have a T-ring which connects fine to the DSLR. I have ordered a Newtonian OTA (Bintel BT200 f/5) which is coming in a few days. I have also ordered a 2-inch Optolong L-Extreme filter. My EQ6-R pro arrived today. Guide cam is acquired and guide scope is on its way.

I am still missing a T-adapter and am not sure what I need to buy. Where is the L-Extreme filter placed? Between the T-Ring and T-adapter? Or between the T-adapter and OTA? Will I even need a t-adapter if I get a coma corrector? Also, most t-adapters are 1.25 inch, so will that work with a 2-inch filter? I am so confused, so any help will be much appreciated. I hope I am making sense...

Many thanks,
Stéphane
