Yes, I've considered that but with my LP'd sky I might struggle to find guide stars within the viewing. Most of my imaging is into the SCP area which can be a bit sparse sometimes. The 80F5 is setup with only one axis of adjustment so flexure is not a problem and I have had to move it only slightly once to get a star into a better position.
Having it all setup in an Observatory means I can keep it all locked down optically and mechanically which makes it a lot easier to get multiple night imaging done.

I still may go down the OAG path if I have to buy a SII filter from ZWO eventually but at present the RGBLHa imaging process is keeping me more than amused. And my slush fund is still recovering financially from the 1600mm-c buy but it was definitely worth it.
