Now the bit that annoys me! I seem likely to keep going down the same "Bitsa" rabbit hole I have been in for ages. The ZWO filter wheels look perfectly up to the task for me, only the 2" one seems the only one set up to attach to the camera in a way I like (I don't really want to go to a 2" wheel due to the cost of filters)

The 2" wheel you remove the tilt plate from the camera (Which the FW would block access to anyway) and use screws to attach it directly to the camera, the big ZWO OAG looks a good setup. But the 36mm required a male to male T2 adapter ring be screwed in to the tilt plate (Which becomes inaccessible) and the filter wheel spun on to that, ugly! And the QHY OAG-M has a much better attachment method rigidity wise.

The ideal would be for ZWO to put me out of my misery (Except financially) and make an ASI2600MM GT, with an integral 7 X 36mm filter wheel and a guider port!
