Well my new scope is in transit, should have it in a day or so. I was talking to the dealer about my flattener problem and they understood the issue I would have with the Orion flattener and the Adaptive Optics.

Then I popped the question and asked if they have the flattener in stock. On getting a yes I asked them if they could check if the 2" tube on the front of the flattener unscrews. Tada!!! Yes it does and reveals an female 2" thread.

Problem solved. I can screw the 2 inch tube from the flattener onto the front of the AO. With an adaptor, fit the flattener on the back of the AO just in front of the SQI camera giving it the correct back focus I hope. :-)

Its on the way with the scope. I will let peeps know if this works.
