crafstmanship is better than SBIG, it feels solid, and well designed. It was this vs. FLI, I chose this becuase of the off axis deal built in.

Oh, there probably is, but upgrades like that are always expensive, and I'm already deeply in the red on astronomy purchases (at least in terms of SPUs - "spousal permission units").

they don't have an 8 wheel add on for the 583?

Very nice! I bought my 583 before the 600 series was announced and I got the 5-filter wheel, which means that I'm always switching out filters between the LRGB set for dark skies and the narrowband set for the home observatory. I really need to get a 2nd filter wheel, but even that is a bother compared to having all the filters available all the time.

683 WSG-8-c 1.25" filters. I've got a set of baader 1.25 filters and so I'll load it up with them plus OIII, S11, Ha filters and a light pollution filter.

Congratulations, Charles, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. There are a half dozen or so QSI users in our little astro community here and I don't think there have been any significant problems.
Which model did you get?
