Zwo oag

I'd like to know what everyone thinks of the ZWO OAG or is there better? I do have a TOAG but it's more a TOAD. any feedback would be great. TIA

If you mean the standard one (Not the new M68 one for the 2" and new 36mm filter wheels) I prefer the QHY OAG-M, the ZWO one resembles the Thin OAG which I found not to be rigid enough.

I was looking at the QHY, what attachments come with it? I'll need m42 or 48 depending. I have an ASI071MC which has an APS-C sensor.

Hi Karl
I migrated to the ZWO OAG which markedly improved guiding. If I had the money I would get a helical focuser and the ASI290 for the OAG which would help focusing from time to time.

I have the ZWO and the QHY.
The ZWO worked fine with the DSLR, but it seems that the QHY is smoother and it also comes with the focuser included.
