Thanks for the info.

I had realised that the Atlas touches the knobs you mentioned. I constructed a cardboard model to test things out. I would get precise parts over in the USA to make up necesary ZTA to clear this.

Interesting what you say about the Celestron FR for the C14 Edge Had it on order since February, I'll chase this up.

Do they state where the back focus is measured from, would it be the FR lens camera side, if this is so It might be possible to use a different focusing unit. Could you measure the outer diameter of the camera side lens mounting. This might fit into something like the Moonlite 2.5" cls which would gain some mm.

I'm really waiting to see how it performs, I look forward to your results.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Eric
