Dream designed the housing of the custom 4" coma corrector and worked with the manufacturer of the OAG unit specifically to minimize back focus. Almost 0.25" (6mm) is saved by using the dovetail Dream has designed.
 

The custom 4" coma corrector and 4" OAG are shown with the LodeStar autoguider. It weighs only 74 grams.
