Adam,
Sorry can’t help you with NINA
I’m also considering going Mono mid next year but Im a ZWO fanatic so it’s the 2600MM not the QHY268M ( both seriously good cameras )
I’ve researched 7 different brands of filters in past months and I’m probably going to buy the Astronomik 2” mounted Type 2C L RGB at 90 to 100% transmission and the Astronomik 2” 6nm Ha Oiii Sii filters.I chose Astronomik based on quality and price ( Astrodon’s are Rolls Royce but way too expensive, Astronomik come in 2nd or 3rd after those )
Filter glass thickness is 1mm and they are suppose to be parfocal ( questionable)
I use newts so hence the 2” filter size
Filter wheel will be a ZWO EFW 5 x filter
A mount upgrade is on the cards as well ( Skywatcher EQ8-R ) and a 10” carbon fibre newt )
All the above based on approval from the minister of finance ( Misses )
Good luck with your move to Mono next year and hopefully you will get an answer on NINA
Cheers
Martin
