Smart move with the filterwheel with guide cam, its very sensitive and bonus, it has a 0.7 reducer built in, nice wide FOV. Remember that when you make the FOV indicator in sky and DL setup.

Ah good tip Fred, I had not read about the reducer.
I am accustomed to the noise of the rotators, but will find out about the filter wheel soon enough. That does not surprise me though.

I don't mind it now but most pictures and paintings are rectangular.
KAI11002 has its advantages as well. One being a KAI interline chip it does not have RBI which perhaps is some small advantage. There are also millions of great images taken with that chip so its definitely a classic.
Good to know about the backfocus requirements of the 2 systems. I didn't know that. It uses 50.8mm round filters right? It does not need 65mm filters, that's only the STX16803 right?

Yes it used 50.8mm round filters.
