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

Thanks Martin. Keen to see the journey you go on with your setup
Especially that EQ8-R!
I considered ZWO, and it's still an option. I'll keep the 2600MC as a travel camera and maybe get a more portable setup to shoot northern hemisphere targets when we visit the family overseas (and COVID dies down a bit!)
For what it's worth, I've been looking at the Astronomik and Antlia filters over at Cloudnights. Seems the new Pro Antlia filters are really something else and can give excellent results.

Thanks Jeremy, that's great to hear. Did you have to buy clip ins for the filters? I heard that without them you can get weird results with your exposures and flats.
Did you use the QHY camera driver, the NINA one or ASCOM?
