Telescope array TA-70
The product is designed by ASTROSHOP and consists of four SKYROVER 70SA main mirrors .
4 telescopes, one for each filter, LRGB/Ha, SII, O3, Hb or photometric filter UVBIR for deep space
4 Telescop for deep space .
The product has a good extension, and it is equipped with more other equipment, such as the fifth telescope and the guide star equipment.
A bit over the top, what happens if one is out of focus.

Well I guess you simply run four focus motors on them as well, with four instances of SGP to control them. Might be messy to dither them unless you can sync the SGP instances, or create virtual equipment profiles. Do you run one guidescope? It would have to be on a standalone PHD2 instance and not under SGP control I would think.
Well I would like two sets so I can have eight dedicated filters ..and cameras, focusers etc ..eight lap tops maybe and get eight hours for one put in...fifty hours for a nights efforts ... I must start a gofund me page..goal $70k☺

OK I will use the profit from the lite motorised wheel chair.
You know folk like me or a little worse than me who can still drive but find walking an issue and are by them selves and only have a small car need a lite wheel chair that you can lift in and out so I figure hub motors and I small battery...going to do one soon hopefully.

It's called a Segway isn't it? Keeping with the theme of this thread, how about four electric motors in four wheel hubs, bolted onto a nice recliner chair frame. A joystick and hand throttle, and use regenerative braking.
For me balance is the thing.
I made a motorised walker with a platform to stand on but even five inches off the ground I could not handle it..may as well been trying to stand on top of a ten foot ladder...I cant balance on long tuff grass.
Segway is probably to heavy for a weakling like me.
So now guiding the thread gently back to the op.
Well I would like even the four set up which would probably mean a couple of filter wheels in the mix...the time I get behind the scope has me wondering how I can get more time..you dont get much these days because of weather so a multipack scope set up really appeals.. its is unfortunate that is so expensive.
I give a lot of thought to building a multi camera set up using a particular dslr..needs to be avaiable cheap and easy to get modded versions...and all with the same lens..that set up would not be too complex and you would only need a bar to sit all the cameras on..and they only need to be approx aligned really...

I think I would rather go for RASA 8" and image with one larger aperture at f/2 which is more than 4x faster than f/5 for extended objects, would capture more stars due to larger aperture and would resolve much finer details (larger aperture again). All of that with just one camera so a cheaper and simpler system. The only compromise I can think of would be a smaller field of view with RASA.
Anyways all the scopes dont have to be on the same mounts...so seven 12 inch RASA on eq8s or better ...there would be no need to change filters as each scope would have its own.
A 10 minute snap should capture the faintest object☺.
Heck lets go 20 inch and a full time tech assistant☺.
