Wow Paul! Your imaging train does look heavy- approaching 10kg perhaps?
Lewis, I totally agree that simplicity is great, but you also need to keep the essentials in, if you aim for quality data. Essentials IMO are motorised focuser, corrector (for most scopes), OAG or ONAG, filter wheel and a camera plus whatever spacers are required. Rotator would be certainly needed for remote imaging.
Yes, we can stick a dslr directly into the focuser but will it allow for the best data possible to collect with a given telescope and location?
Mike- hopefully your FSQ will land shortly
