Hi Dennis
Yes the back focus is 105mm from the reducer. The Moonlight focuser adds 1.25" or 31.75mm so that gives a surface that is easy to measure from.

However, the 146mm measurement is from the very end of the threads of the x0.7 Reducer, which is hidden when you assemble all the components.

This is how my Edge C9.25 is set up but with all the poor weather, I have yet to test out this configuration.
