Hi Alex,
I have an OAG and Baader CC with an 8 inch newt and filter wheel and it works fine with or without the CC.
The stars shapes are better with the CC but only if the correct distance to the camera can be maintained .
To assist in that I have the adapter from Baader that screws directly in to the SW focuser after the CC is screwed into that from the back to provide a male T2 to the OAG /filter wheel . That saves thick adapters where you may not achieve focus with too much distance and also gives a threaded connection to the OAG/ filter wheel which I like.
I also use the integral OAG filter wheel but just this week I will be introducing a thin OAG instead with my other zwo wheel and I think that I will still have the correct spacing from the CC to the camera and plenty of overhead for focussing.
Give it a whirl either way but check your focus in the daytime for both cameras OAG adjustment first .
PS. The OAG is on the telescope side of the filter wheel.

Anyways should I wait for the Coma Corrector before trying to put this altogether? One would hope I can add it on later.
I still have to wash the primary and re collminate, make a tool for that, so things are a bit all over the place...but it seem to me one must bolt the OAG to the filter wheel...can anyone confirm at least that part...actually any guidance links etc gratefully accepted.
.I just watched a YouTube video and the guy, like so many is doing it for the first time thinks why not do a video as just opening the box makes him an expert...I really hate that...I may as well do a video saying I have no idea but listen to me ... And he was a youngster around 45 years...kids!
So if you have been around the block any input gratefully received.
Alex
