3. A QSI583WSG would fit the back focus but it is a narrow field of view. You would get an OAG with that camera.
4. No room for a rotator or fine focusor.
5. I have never liked the idea of hanging a camera off a piece of glass.
In short I don't see how this could be a great system. It could not be effective as a remote scope. Nice idea but I am uncertain how it would work well in practice.

Yes - how do you stop the weight of the camera from distorting the glass?
Yet alone - the air current disturbance?
You can't use an OAG or a filter wheel.
I can't see how such a system can work.
