I picked up a set of Baader LRGB filters - they are unmounted so I haven't been able to use them yet.

I already have Ha and OIII mounted 2 inch filters so these can go into the filter wheel.

I'm also working through the SAO course - for a project I'm due to start (very soon!) I'm looking at a set of BVR filters - Custom Scientific do a set thats sensibly pricing - to the extent anything in astr is sensibly priced.

My FW is due in a fortnight - I suspect the adapter will be a few weeks after that.

I was sorely tempted to go the FLI route - Alex has had great results with it. The knot of cables turned me off. At this stage I have a 4 port USB hub which manages the mount, camera, focuser and guide camera and a separate cable for the wireless controller. So I'd have needed another hub (which would need to be powered) to accomodate the filter wheel - so the SBIG model that plugs into the camera made good sense.
