3. Use a "sled", in which the camera and secondary mirror move along the OTA together on some sort of sliding arrangement. Has been done, there are examples of this. The advantage is there is no traditional focuser, so vignetting is reduced, or you can use a smaller secondary mirror.

Pardon my ignorance but wasn't that the primary way of focusing many old reflectors?
I'm sure I've seen images somewhere.
