image train upgrade - thought?

Hey brain trust,

Looking to upgrade from my unmodified Canon 1100D.

Given my light polluted Melbourne skies, I have opted to go monochrome.

Just wanted to make sure this was a sensible imaging train.

I am currently using a Skywatcher ED80 without a field flattner on a EQ6r-pro with NINA. I will upgrade to a Celestron 9.25HD SCT when funds allow.

Upgrade would be as follows;

Main camera - QHY 294m Pro
OAG - QHYCCD OAG-M
filter Wheel - QHYCFW3-S Motorised Filter Wheel
guide camera - QHY-!=III-290M mono
Filters - LRGBSHO Antlia 3.0 nm Pro

As I am not using a field flattener - I am right in thinking that I do not need any additional spacers?

Amp glow seems to be an issue with the 294m chip but what I have read is that it seems to calibratre out. Is that true?

Anything else I have missed?

Thanks in advance and clear skies.
