I have a Canon Rebel DSLR with a bunch of lens, but nothing that I can find to adapt it to my LX200. Does someone make an adapter from my camera to the back of the LX200, or a 2" tube?

Hi Chuck
Depends on what you mean by "adapt it to my LX200". If you mean you want to use your camera lenses to do wide field photography then you'll need a piggy back camera adapter. This allows the camera and lens to ride on top of the scope as it tracks the sky.

If you want to do prime focus photography which uses the scope as the lens then you'll need a T-ring (camera specific) and a 2" camera adapter, also a 2" visual back which you might have already.
Here is a 2" adapter and t-ring combo for Canon as an example:

Good luck,
