There are at least 2 reasons why you should avoid placing OAG in front of a FF/FR.

1. It will degrade image quality because it will block some of the light which is not the case if positioned (correctly) behind FF/FR.

2. Guiding camera will be very far from prism which will make finding suitable star very difficult.
