High glen,

Many thanks for your reply and private message. I have the QSI 683 WSG camera with the built in OAG & FilterWheel and i just weighed it, and it's about 1.7kg, so a little heavier than your camera setup, but not by much.

As far as i'm aware the Kaf 8300 chips are fine with the MN190 in terms of imaging circle, it's more the back focus i'm not sure about as i need 50mm which i'm sure will also be fine.

My mount is the EQ8, so no problems with weight, but i am curious how easy these things are to balance.

Also do you know if there is an easy way to motorise the stock focuser ? I do have a spare Lakeside Astro motor and control unit, so might look to see if there is a bracket available.

Rich.
