Close, I have a 300mm collimating and a 135mm focus lens. One camera will be the guide camera, the other imaging spectra.

It should be held by the G11, it has been used to image with a 12".

Tonight I set up to do some bench tests using a ES globe back at the house. I found that the guide camera will need a lot more relief to be parfocal with the spec image and a lot more alignment needed. No images, I just used white card.
