Greetings,

Your camera bodies, I think you may have meant the T2i and R7.  Neither of these are particularly adept for low light photography.  A good tripod is a must.

One issue you may encounter.  The T2i uses EF or EF-S lenses or mounts.  The R7 uses RF or RF-S lenses or mounts.  It may be possible for you to use an EF to EOS R adapter but I would check with the telescope manufacturer to be sure of compatibility.

I'm afraid I don't have any telescope )brand) recommendations.  I'm sure other others might.

I wish that I could be of some assistance but, unfortunately I am brand new to both general photography and astrophotography.  But, I will suggest Roger Vine’s website http://www.scopeviews.co.uk

I hope this will be of some assistance to you.
