Not Suitable? I can't understand why, so long as the motor box is pointing forward. I've messaged him and he replied saying it will work ok, it just needs a M54 M->M adapter. He also said a link cable is pending from QHY to connect the wheel to the camera like the qhy9 does.

I'm pretty sure the qhy wheel will do unmounted. I seem to remember my original wheel coming with plastic screws for them. The web site says it will do up to 50.8mm unmounted. If you have unmounted baader filters then they should be 50.8mm. I believe astrodon, sbig and others supply 50mm unmounted. Looking at this link to opt http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?...-327-339-16791 the 50.8mm sx carousel is preorder just like my 7x36mm was and it took 4 months to arrive I doubt claude in SA will have stock of them, you'd have to ring him.

Unmounted filters are a lot easier to clean etc. I'd keep them if I where you.

I won't be getting a qhy11 till the end of may. Got to do a trip to NZ before theo gets new stock.
