I was very excited to get the ZWO ASI2600MM-Pro camera a while back. I ordered it when it was announced and then prepared to wait a long time to get it. When I did get it - I decided to put it onto the AP130 platform. That meant that I could move the ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro, along with its filter wheel, over to my William Optics Platform.

This now means that all of the platforms have been moved over to a mono camera, and my ZWOASI924MC-Pro is now not in use.
