As Pete mentioned I got rid of the FT focusor purely from a back focus position.

Besides the Atlas can carry 10kg according to FLI. We will see.
It seems the Starlight Express AO unit also needs their Lodestar to work.

Andrews is expecting 16 inch CF truss GSO RCs at some point.

No corrector Dave. I have not found anything yet that will work with the size of sensor and be cost effective. It will mean I need to crop images.

Most of it is v groove connections. Not my ideal way of holding stuff together but this is what is supplied.

By cost effective, I guess you're referring to the ASA corrector? GSO was onto a winner with the huge back focus of their RCs (I can't believe people have been bagging them out over it)... with the latest addition, I'll be down to my last 15 mm.
