Hmm some thoughts come to mind.

1. The front corrector is going to be the main problem. An 11" corrector plate is going to dew up like nobodies business without a dew heater and using a dew heater will mean tube currents.

2. This appears to be a metal tube. Not a grand idea either. This sucker is going to move around like a mad woman's custard until it gets cold.

3. A QSI583WSG would fit the back focus but it is a narrow field of view. You would get an OAG with that camera.

4. No room for a rotator or fine focusor.

5. I have never liked the idea of hanging a camera off a piece of glass.

In short I don't see how this could be a great system. It could not be effective as a remote scope. Nice idea but I am uncertain how it would work well in practice.
