But the orion has the two inch tube on the back which means it would probably need to go in front of the adaptive optics which put the camera a long way back from the flattener. I dont think it will work. It would be nice if the two inch tube on the front of the orion could be unscrewed so I can then put it onto the back of the adaptive optics in front of the camera (with the relevant spacers).

Yup have all sorts of those.
