It could be really handy, put the mono on and spend time gathering a good luminance and any NB while I gather OSC data on the other scope, then swap cameras between scope and trade roles.

Paul,
The 2600MC is a great camera , an all round performer although I had a bit of fiddling around getting my coma corrector spacing right , eventually all it needed was an additional 1mm spacer ring. As far as subs go I rarely go beyond 3 minute mark , even with mag 10 galaxies
During the summer I captured 6 x 3 minute subs on M8 due to cloud and the amount of detail in the processed image was tremendous (using my 8” f5 newt )
I take darks but again rarely use them
l love this camera
Your going to be a happy Chappy using the 2600MC in your big imaging newt
Enjoy
Martin
