Yes the back focus is 105mm from the reducer. The Moonlight focuser adds 1.25" or 31.75mm so that gives a surface that is easy to measure from.

Thanks Malcolm, I appreciate the update.

Have a look at this website where the Author has tested a C11 and it appears under average seeing conditions of 2 arcsec, the backfocus tolerance can be off by +-50mm for an APS-C sensor and +-20mm for a full frame chip.

It makes me wonder how accurate we have to be?

Hope you get it sorted.

Cheers
