Yeah the clamp is a standard Vixen-style dovetail, so as long as the frac on rings will clear the clamp shroud (plastic) then you're good to go. My Zenithstar has an attached foot whose end happens to be the same form, so it slots right in (although I usually use a lightweight manual alt az mount as the FOV is nearly 7 degrees!)
I just re-read your post... I mean you could use a wide field scope (a short one) instead if the C8 ota as they're readily switchable. The big brother dual fork CPC could have a piggy back scope, but with the 8SE your limit might be a super lightweight finder, 60mm or so.
