OK here is a picture of my image train behind the Tal 200K.
From the front
M68 to 57 adapter (custom machined)
Helicoid focuser (7758)
Spacer M57 t0 M57 (smallest)
Focal Reducer (7887)
Canon adapter (5005)

This gives an unvignetted image to a full frame Canon 5DH.

The FR has a facility for 48 or 52mm filters in the front.

Brilliant is it not in its simplicity?

hhmm...nice setup. All looked good until I saw the price of the focuser and reducer! I think I'll just stick with a Toucam and image the planets for now. I don't get to travel to dark skies enough to warrant me spending all that money for the additional attachments for now

Yep after you have sold your soul for a $6.5K camera the rest is easy. I share my images at the highest resolution I can so all can enjoy. I think that if I share as best I can all the cost is pales into insignificance.
I won't settle for second best in aquiring images.

Do you live under dark skies or do you travel away from home to take your wonderful pictures?
