And there is no need to rotate OAG, Lodestar is very sensitive, you'll probably never have to chase guiding star.
Thanks - that's great advice... but the OAG is directly screwed to the filter wheel, which is directly screwed to the camera. I am as close as I can get, I don't want to guide through narrow band filters....
