BRC-250 Imaging Help

I'm interested in talking to CCD imagers using the BRC-250. We have the following setup and have run out of backfocus by several inches. We need to shorten our train or find a way to use what we have with a few additions or eliminate and replace items. This is the train on our BRC-250 setup:

BRC-250
Autofocuser-Optec TCF-5
ISI Filter Wheel FW-10
Apogee 16 CCD Camera

I would be interested in anyone elses setup using all or some or none of these components?

I would be interested in additions or replacement suggestions for our setup.

Help, we have to get this incredible instrument imaging!!!!

I think the autofocuser is the thing that is giving the trouble. On my setup, I don't have a autofocuser, just ST2000 w/ CFW-8 attached directly to the scope. You are correct, it is an awsome imaging scope and you will get some awsome pictures w/ it. So keep working on it, it took me month to get everything right.
