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.

Thanks Ray.
I figured where the OAG goes but it is nice to hear something that tells me that I was right.
The Baader Coma Corrector I am informed will be here Wednesday.
Your comment re real fitting to focuser is handy..I had a bit that slipped in but by my eye is was saying too far out...And security..nil.....sound as if I was right again...And I did not like that even if it worked..there would have been some safety string in the mix for sure... I will work out what I need when the corrector is here and see what I have or order the correct bit.
And I can't be too bad as I knew to work out focus in the day time...I read that someplace but after all the mucking about with the RASA...well I won't go over that drama.....I have a special tree you see...mmm not sure if the new spot and pier will get that tree..no worries I have a couple more.
Thanks I won't bother with the slide in thing.you have confirmed what I was worried about.
Alex
