Hi Rob
Sadly, although I have been sorely tempted, I tend not to mix visual observing and imaging during a session.
To remove the camera can be quite onerous in terms of having to physically remove it, insert an eyepiece, re-focus for the eyes, re-fit the camera and then re-focus the camera.
The camera cables (power & signal) are usually routed along the mount/OTA and tied up with little slack, so it’s not easy to just unplug the camera to insert an eyepiece. Once you have the target acquired, nicely framed, with perhaps good seeing and precise focus achieved, it would probably take an act of God to cause you to unplug that camera!
Cheers
Dennis
