Hi Marko,

the spacing refers to the sensor spacing not the front of the camera - for eg I know with canons the sensor to "start of the camera" is 44mm which only leaves ~11mm to squeeze in a coma corrector (which requires spacing 55-58mm similar to the field flattener) with OAG between them.

Which meant using a 0mm bayonet eg http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/...optical-l.html note that this link is for a canon I don't know if they exist or not for Nikons.

So you may need a field flattener with longer spacing to get around it - I don't have a refractor so not sure if they are common.

cheers
