Hi Matt
It’s difficult to keep up with changes on the forum eh.
I've had the (2nd hand) SBIG ST7E for approx 4 years and the AO7 / CFW8 seller was undecided about their upgrade path at the time, so decided to hang on to that equipment. I then had a look at the same combo just down the Gold Coast (2nd hand gear is like waiting for a bus - none for 30 mins then 3 or 4 turn up at the same time!) but that too fell though as the owner wanted to keep the filter wheel as a back up for his CFW10.
So, I had a rethink and decided to get a filter wheel that would serve the ST7E as well as a future webcam, be it a DMK, SKYnix or Paolo's R&D device from Italy.
I think the original AO7 and CFW8 may be still available if you are interested in going down the SBIG path - it is good gear.
Cheers
Dennis
