Mount suggestion as an upgrade to SA GTI - posted in Mounts: Hi, Im using a SW SA GTI for the last year but I feel like my setup is asking too much precision so Im limited to 30s or 1 minute subs. I do not get these. The build and designs are similar, so the popular 36mm (CFW3-M) and 2-inch / 50mm (CFW3-L) 7-position models I’ve tested are representative of the line. 7x FR/FF Baader UFC Filter: 2" L-enHance Focuser: Moonlite CFL & V2 HR Stepper Motor. As low as $87. Combining an ultra-thin stepper motor drive with the capacity for fully automatic filter switching, QHY's innovative new third generation QHY color filter wheels provide state-of-the-art performance.
