Hi Patrick,
I use my 224MC mainly for planetary imaging due to it's small sensor & resulting FOV. I tend to use my DSLR for deep sky.
I am planning to use it as a guide camera as well once I have my head around my new Rasberry Pi/Stellarmate combo.
I haven't used it in my dob at all, even though it is not a tracking dob, it does have DSC & a Nexus device as well as being incredibly smooth to move. I'm always up to try & push the boundaries of what is & what is not possible so, initially, I will look at seeing if I can get some video capture of planets & see where it goes from there.
Previous planetary has been done via a Meade LX90 but, I'm trying to sell it.. next round of planetary will be done via an Intes mounted on the AZEQ6, probably in Alt/Az mode.
Cheers
