If so I had to take the filter wheel off mine to get the correct spacing.
Yes Terry - I bought it to sit on the LISA.

I came with the CFW8 and a set of narrowband filters - I've only ever used Ha not SII or OIII so it might be interesting to try out when the moon is up.

Of course, having bought it, I learned that it won't come to focus through the CFW8 - I understand that the later SBIG FWs do fit. Olivier is sending me the adapter so I can mount it properly.

So I guess this will be my dedicated spectro and photometry camera. I'll load the BVRI filters onto the filter wheel and re-attach it to the camera when I want to switch to photometry. Its a bit of a pain to go from LISA to photometry but its worth it for fun targets like the SN in NGC1365.

Now all I need is clear skies!
