In this article you will learn how to connect a ZWO ASI6200MM Pro, a ZWO 2″ EFW and ZWO M68 OAG to get the best back focus length of 55mm.
All these parts can be purchased from 365Astronomy or their dealer network.
For a quick overview see the below calculation and diagram showing all the parts with optical lengths:
ASI6200MM Pro camera (12.5mm)+ 2”EFW(20mm)+ M68 OAG(17.5mm)+ sensor tilt adapter(5mm)=55mm

And here are the detailed steps:
1) Disassemble the 5mm sensor tilt adapter on the main camera with the help of a screwdriver:
2) Remove the back cover of the 2″ EFW (there are two versions ZWO: 5-position and 7-position):
3) Disassemble the filter wheel carousel (Note: Please do not disassemble or move the central screw of this carousel, otherwise the EFW will be damaged):
4) Align the four screw holes of the EFW with those in the four corners of the camera chip as shown below:
5) Tighten the screws at the interface between the EFW and the main camera:
6) Install the filter wheel carousel:
7) Fix the ZWO M68 OAG to the back cover of the EFW (Note: You might have to reposition the prism to make sure it would not block the sensor):
8) Fix the 5mm sensor tilt adapter to the ZWO M68 OAG:
9) Attach the back cover of the EFW to the front cover:
10) Installation complete.
Note: Please make sure the prism does not block the light from your telescope to the sensor.
Adjust the focal length of a guide camera by using the guide knob.
Would be better if you finish the above steps during daytime, as it is very difficult to adjust it accurately at night.
