Yes this I understand. However unless you pay larger amounts of money on filter wheels etc it does not shorten the workload required. I have a port setup so it all adds up to workload not exposure times. That said more money makes for better equipment that makes the job easy and faster. This is not always the case for all people like me ( sadly). My choice is still as it was.. OSCAR for low cost performance. I still see your point of view and thanks for the information as some of it I was not aware of.
