Just in case others were following this thread with a similar setup.
I did not get this to work the way I want. I was able to fit the Orion Flattener between the AO and the Camera but I could not achieve focus. The issue is that the Orion Flattener appears to also be a reducer and as such with the AO in front of it. I could not get it forward enough to achieve focus.
It worked fine with the camera only (very wide field) but not with the added space of the AO in front of it.

The clouds came after 1 hour and it has not been clear since so I ran out of time to experiment.

So at this stage looks like I cant use the orion flattener on my 110 with a OA unit. I will need to see if I can get a flattener that does not reduce as well.
