Yep, it's a lot bigger than an Atlas. The back focus is about the same as using a rotator and focuser with an adapter each side and one joining them together. The beauty of it though is a reduction of two cables in the mix.

It's not light, but using an AO with a narrow field of view requires the use of a rotator.

Funnily here it has been clear since it arrived. Though it will be a month or so until I do final commissioning of this system. I need to do wiring, testing of all the components together before driving it down to the observatory and putting the whole system on the mount. So it might rain then.
