I just ordered one of the new (Bolted down attachment) 7 X 36mm filter wheels. That is on back order too, but that is no matter, I am going to have to miss the intro price on the new cam as I just can't swing another three grand right now. I will have to just go accumulating parts. I am choosing filters now (Trying to pick between Baaders and Astronomics, once I confirm that the FW can accept the 3.5mm deep "Cell" on the Astronomics) and for now given everything is hard to get, I will probably just start with a HA and a clear or lum. I have already proven the 2600MC I have now performs suprisingly well with a HA filter in front of it so it gets me going on the cheap and with the filter wheel, at least I can flip over to lum/clear for quick plate solving, and of they are parfocal enough, focusing. Plate solving is a bit of a pain through a fixed in place HA.
