I think the thing for me is that the process of swapping over for DSO photography is a bit onerous. I don't like to be swapping equipment in the dark. Even using the same telescope, it takes about an hour before I'm back up and running.
The biggest thing I'm finding is that the model has to be pretty spot-on so the go-to's are accurate because the field of view is so tiny. I still use my finderscope because I like having that confirmation.
Also, focus is critical. What do you guys use? Bahtinov? Slew away to a star and run a V-curve? (using which software?). Or do you use focus assist within sharpcap / firecap?
