Do you have some pictures of your imaging gear? I'm looking at getting an SX camera of my own for high res galaxy and planetary work soon and I'm interested in what your Newtonian OAG setup looks like .

Cheers Mike. I'll take a couple later today - it's too bleeding hot to go over at the moment. I have used a full SX rig with their OAG and FW as well as the camera. The good thing about that setup is that the OAG/FW only takes up 38mm and the SXVR_H16 distance to sensor is 17.5mm so I'm able to come within .5mm of the optimum distance for an MPCC.

I also have an ATIK LE4000 (same sensor) with a similar OAG/FW combo on another scope and it works the same.

Downside with the SXVR line of cameras is that you're wedded to the appropriate SX line of guide cameras like he Exview I use. I have a Losestar on the ATIK rig for that reason.
