Hi Ian,

The 2" 0 Mag Adapter screws into any 2" standard threaded tube and the
dobsonian model comes with it's own extension tube that screws directly into
any standard 48mm female threads. Anything with male standard threads can
thread into the bacl of the 0 mag focus adapter. So if your equipment comes
with male and female thread capabilities you should be able to use this. If
you need another means of attaching simple let me know what your attachments are and we can work that out.

This should have no impact on the performance of your coma corrector.

Whether or not this setup will work for you has to do with your intravel
requirement when using the cc and your camera setup.

If you put the cc first than followed by the SO adapter then the camera you should get roughly 1 inch of extra focus.
It would be best to put your cc closest to the camera with the SO adapter closest to the telescope. This would give you your best focusing solution.

If you have any further questions or wish to place an order please do not
hesitate to contact us either via email or phone at the number below. You
may also place a secure order via our website. Have a great night.

Looks like it will work. Still not sure about the OAG though (he didn't address that aspect). I've replied and asked him more specifically about the OAG aspect.

I have asked simlar questions of Baader in Germany too.

Will keep you posted.
