Can mono CCD imaging with 2" nosepiece filters be done?

And LRGB for that matter!!

Hello all
A few questions have I...

I'm considering moving on/up to a short FL refractor/CCD camera rig.
Looking at ED80/Moonlite focuser scope + 8300 sensor based camera.

1. Is a flattener needed when using a CCD sensor size smaller than a DSLR?
Or, is the coma inherent in the imaging train and thus needed for any camera system?

2. Can 2" filters be screwed into any CCD camera nosepiece? (ie LRGB and NB filter imaging done without a FW)

3. How does one attach a flattener to a CCD camera - WO PFlat 2 for example?

4. How easy it is to attach a Canon EF lens to a CCD camera - is it worth it in terms of resolution?

5. Can a filter wheel be introduced between Canon EF lens and CCD?

Hope you lot can help
Cheers
Doug
