My assumptions turn on being able to use the RASA with a narrow band set up, which still seems a ,long way off..the only way I could fit the filter draw was to space it some 20 mm away from the camera, for me, an uncomfortable distance from the sensor and in time I want to change this to get the filters as close as possible to the sensor.
I just now saw a flat frame light generator on line for $349 (US $ I think) which motivates me to buy a couple of T shirts. The annoying thing is that I have all the stuff sitting in Sydney to make a flash light box..anyways at least taking something with t-shirts is progress ... the concern is that the tshirt will have to be drapped over the dew shield given the placement of the camera..if that does not work I guess a special ring to hold the shirt just above the camera.
I will start my dark library and probably with the camera on the desk while I work out what to set up for flats..hmmmm maybe take some dark flats ..a variety that I can test...and after shopping some flats to get started.
Thanks again.

I’ve been using an A3 Huion led dimmable light panel to take my Flats with my 6” and 8” Newts for over a year
Works fine with a T shirt
Attached is the A2 model which I am buying for my 10” newt
https://www.digidirect.com.au/huion-a2-led-light-pad
Only $219.00 from Digi direct ( Australian company )
This should work for your RASA
The dimmer is touch control via the off on button
I just slew my mount vertically using EQMOD ( obviously not tracking ) and sit the light panel on top , but you could use other methods like up against a wall or suspended or use a music stand etc...,
I usually dim the light down to the lowest and stretch the T shirt over the OTA with a rubber band ( A flattened t shirt so 2 layers of material )
Hope the above helps
