I have the full ToupTek setup..

ATR2600M.
AFW 7x36mm.
ToupTek LRGB filters.
ToupTek SHO filters.
OAG-L M54.

The entire setup is amazing and has been reliable, produced quality results and been 100% hassle free since installation.

I replaced my ZWO ASI1600MM, ZWO EFW, ZWO OAG setup with the ToupTek setup, and honestly, every component feels every bit as good to hold, the quality of construction feels brilliant in both… I couldn't be happier.

My AFW isn't without issues, like screwing up in the middle of the run and nothing helps but restarting the whole thing over again. A major defect I'd reckon…

My AFW isn't without issues also.
But I have to say it's still pretty good: Once it started well a session, I never had issues during the whole night. And I can have multiple target, using multiple filter set:
For instance shooting looping with SHO for several hours: 1x S > 1x H > 1x O > 1x S…
Then looping with LRGB for remaining time of the night on a different target: 1x R > 1x G > 1x B > 3x L > 1x R…

I noticed though that it can start badly the next session.
I usually don't power off the rig, so the AFW would be still powered and connected to NINA the following night. In that case, sometime it will not change filters when asked to. And shoot the whole session with same filter!
The workaround I found that seems to work everytime: disconnect and reconnect the AFW from NINA EQUIPMENT. I don't need to unconnect the USB cable.

I am wondering whether the abysmal behaviour (it just did it again last night) might be due to it being connected to the ASI camera USB hub…

So i turns out that in fact it wasn't the AFW to blame but rather the camera hub. Now I'm dedicating a USB port to it and so far not a glitch.
