Thanks for the link Kelvin, interesting! From what I can tell from the test, my lens is centred by the looks of it. I'm having a look at the astromechanic lens adapter with EOS focus control which is a lot of solid compared to the cheap 50 bucks zwo adapter. Hopefully this will eliminate the tilt.

I love the starless one as well. Beautiful part of the sky.

The AZ GTe cost me around $450 however, I'd personally get the AZ GTi for an extra $100 just for having double clutches as opposed to a single DEC clutch.
The camera ZWO ASI1600MM Pro with EFW and narrowband astronomic filters would be around $3500 (the most expensive bit)
Mini ZWO 30mm guidescope $100 and ZWO ASI290MC guide camera $450.
This is assuming everything is bought brand new.
