Peter,
I’m purely a ZWO user
Almost the same as my rig in my NexDome south coast NSW , although your imaging Mono which is a huge advantage
What mount area you using ?
My rig
8” f5 Bintel GSO newt
Skywatcher EQ6-R pro mount
ZWOASI2600MC
Optolong L Extreme filter
Orion 60mm guide scope with helical focuser
ZWOASI120MM-S USB3 guide camera
ZWO EAF focuser and home made custom arrangement to fit GSO dual speed crayford focuser
Baader MCCP Mk3 coma corrector
I haven’t opened my Dome since the 3rd September
In Sydney, I’ve only had 2 nights ( 2 to 3 hours only ) since mid September, so over 10 weeks since I’ve imaged anything.
Oh and our scopes are not “just an 8” f5 GSO” their bloody great scopes for under $600 bucks.
I’m contemplating a 10” f5 carbon fibre in 2022 , and if the minister for finance approves the budget , thinking about an EQ8-R pro ( they seem to have ironed out all the issues with this mount over the past 12 months )
Good luck with your new ZWO set up and hope the skies clear soon for all of us on the eastern seaboard of Oz
Cheers
Martin
