I would still need another camera as one would have to be dedicated to the OAG. I'm not normally a 'planetary' imager but the current opportunity with Jupiter and Saturn to try for some better pix is worth having a go with my setup. The ASI 120mc is on the flip mirror with a 2x Barlow. Gives me f14 but really need a 3x or higher. Slightly smaller pixels on the 120 should improve the image. Having it on the flip mirror means the 1600mm-c is still setup for my usual DSO targets on f7, I just move the 120mc back to the guide scope and refocus everything..

My EFW is 1.25 so mounted is the only option AFAIK.
