Hi everyone,I recently bought a RASA 8, which I plan to use with my ASI 585 MC Pro. However, I also own an ASI 2600MM Pro and would love to use it with the RASA 8. Unfortunately, I’m struggling to find a suitable filter drawer solution.I came across the Starizona Filter Drawer, but it doesn’t work with the ASI 2600MM Pro due to backfocus issues. The only alternative I’ve found so far is the Starizona Filter Holder. However, this would require removing the camera every time I want to change a filter, which doesn’t seem like an ideal workflow.Does anyone know of any filter drawer solutions that work with this setup? If not, I’d appreciate insights into what a good mono workflow with the ASI 2600MM Pro might look like.Also, I’d love to hear recommendations for good narrowband filters optimized for f/2 systems :-)Best regards,
Björn

Hi Bjorn,
The astronomik filter Maxfr are good with Rasa8. as for the 2600mm, the only option is the filter holder. There is a filter drawer available but very expensive, recently discontinued.

There is another way, I found recently. Inexpensive filter drawer.

Hi Bjorn

I have a RASA8 and a 2600MM pro.

I use this astrodevice adapter. Unfortunately it is discontinued now, I know that doesn't help you unfortunately.

You can also use the ASG Photocage. It is expensive, but I've heard it's very good.

For filters, I use the Baader Ultra-Highspeed SHO filters. They work great!
