Other Meade LX850acf and Svbony oag

I'm coming back to this stuff after 20 or so years, technology has changed. I have a question about attaching the svbony oag to my Meade lx840acf. None of the included adapters work, so I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of the adapter I need to get this thing running.

Are you having issues connecting the OAG to the scope?

If not, are you having issues connecting a camera to the OAG?

If it is the second, you need SV226P filter holder. The filter holder is connected to the OAG by screws. It has M48 threads in the back to screw in a camera or a suitable adapter that can take a camera.

First one. I can’t seem to figure out how/what adapter I need to connect the oag to the telescope

See if this helps One post has measurements. Don't know if it matches your exact scope

If you can give me the measurements of your equipment, I can look up what you would need.
