That camera sounds like a beast Rick. Did you find a lot of difference in the peak of the v-curve from one filter to the next? I'm just judging mine by eye for now as I don't have a stepper motor on the focuser however than may change.

You'd need to add all the glass to that 16mm. I normally add up the thickness of all the glass including the glass over the sensor, and divide it by 3 and then add that to the light path. I doubt it would total 6mm though.
Thanks Robin. I looked at the glass thicknesses however these didn't amount to much. Their engineering drawings cover all of the models however there isn't one drawing that gives all the dimansions for my camera so I was having to look at differences between the 5 and 8 position wheel versions and between the wsg and the ws model. In their knowledge base there is a document that lists the back focus dimensions for each model and this turned out to be correct - should have gone there first.
