I thought it might be. I'm still thinking of slicing of 20-30mm and using an old 1" extender to go back out if I have to. That way I can fine adjust the guide cam focus with out having to worry about getting the camera spacing dead perfect. Thanks for the 55mm info.
Cheers

The basic design of the OAG is for the ol' SLR cameras - 55mm back focus hence the positioning and length of the "guide eyepiece" 1.25" tube.
If you're using it with a CCD ideally the camera should be spaced to give 55mm backfocus...
