You are going to struggle to get any aog to work well. You are using a pyxis le? It has a 42mm output, not 2 inch, which is too small to cover your 40d and a pickoff mirror for the guide chip. Unless you mount the oag in front of the rotator which kinda defeats the purpose.

The moag will not work in your situation houghy, the moag is designed to fit between a sbig camera and an sbig aol adaptive optics device. The mmoag however is designed to use adapters to facillitate use with other imaging trains, but you will have the same issues as mentioned above.

Brett i upgraded the pyxis LE to the 2" pyxis. I am beginning to wonder what i will do. This system seems like i will have to sacrifice the pyxis in the train in order to use a OAG or the on axis version.

i also have the leupus 0.62 reducer to put in place. i really need to find out more about this on axis version.

might keep the rotator for the 127
