That gives me the info but typically for Tak there is no diagram for where the back focus begins on the scope itself. That info would be more helpful. Thanks for that all the same.

Paul, I think you have made the right choice.
With my BabyQ, with a native 200mm of back focus, I had more room to play than a 106ED with only 178mm. But even so, was barely able to get my reducer into the imaging train. I used a FLI PDF focuser as well as FW and OAG so I had to remove the Captains Wheel rotator and rack the scope's focuser within a few mm of right in to get these things in. Your AO at 40 plus mm sounds to me like it would be a non-starter.
