You will need to check focus for each filter, but once you register the subs, alignment will be fine. I used to run my NB subs through DSS, obviously one stack per filter, but then re-registering the output Tiffs for each filter to align them for final processing. Its doable, and since your in Melbourne, narrowband might get you more use than RGB.

Hey Glen,
Yep I am convinced in keeping it and using it for some sort of imaging. Surprised it didn't sell. I initially bought it as a guidescope for my SCT 8" but the tube and accessories were so bloody heavy!
Since you have one, do you know the diameter of the scope because I want to get some tube rings for them. Maybe 90mm tube rings?
