Esprit 100ed with an ASI2600mm. I am using Antlia pro filters and very happy with the performance, particularly with the narrowband. 36mm unmounted.

Esprit 100ED with an ASI6200MC, no filters. I used to travel 1-2 hours for astrophotography and averaged maybe 4-5 hours of good exposure every 2-3 months, so I went the OSC route originally. I'm planning on getting a filter wheel + filters next year, along with a swap to a monochrome camera.

I'm running a William Optics FLT91 with a 2600mm and Antlia LRGB / 3nm SHO filters on an AM5. Couldn't be happier with how everything has been running - great guiding numbers and obviously super clean data. I've been installed since mid-August. I also have a Pegasus Falcon V2 installed and power the mount, camera, EFW, EAF all with a PPBAV. I've got a Wanderer V4 flat panel which is actually slightly too small, but I use it mainly to cover the objective end of my scope and typically just do sky flats instead.  |

I'm jealous, I reserved a pier the day Bray announced it on his channel but haven't had my equipment ready. I ordered a Camera from Moravian and an MKS6000 control board for my Paramount and just got them in. I have been "field testing" the package here at the house to stomp out any gremlins before I take it. So far it's been set up for 3 weeks but I haven't had to go touch it for the last two. I think it's ready! The rig consist of: Scope: Takahashi FSQ106EDX Focuser: Moonlite Nitecrawler WR35 CAA: Moonlite Sidewinder OAG: Moravian C3 OAG with my QHY 5iii174M EFW: Moravian Large 50mm X 50mm square 7 slot Filters: Astronomik 50mm X 50mm 6nm SHO, Deep Sky LRGB Camera: Moravian C3-61000 pro with Moravian Power supply Flat panel & motor: Primalucelab GIOTTO150 and ALTO1 with small PLL losmandy clamp Mount: Paramount MyT - for weights 3 X 20lb and 1 X 10 lb are available with Paramount power supply PC: PLL Eagle 5 XTM Mounting hardware: PLL 495mm losmandy dovetail plate, PLL Rings Network: Netgear 5 port unmanaged switch Power distribution: Digital Loggers Web pro power strip Monitor camera: Wyze surveillance camera if there's a place for it  |

I've also got a Skydaddy flat panel down there for this one but I was having problems getting it to stay connected and recognized, so I had them take it off rather than waste any more precious dark sky time. I've got cheating to do…

I'm glad Bray posted his video on how to measure your rig yesterday. Somehow I missed before that the radius measurement was with the Flat/Cover full extended. My 22" radius rig suddently went to 27" with my Alto1Giotto150mm fully extended (thats mounted on the bottom too). Now I just have to decide if the next three years flats are worth $3,600 to have flat generator flats vs. sky flats….
