ASTRO: SNR Sharpless 2-94

Another one with the RASA.
Sh2-94 is (like SH2-96 and Sh2-91) part of the SNR G 65.3+5.7 in Cygnus. I
imaged it during last full moon, which of course is not ideal for such a
faint nebula. But you never know when the sky will be clear so I took the
chance.

Taken from Berlin with a RASA astrograph on a G11 mount, Trius SX694 camera,
85x3min Ha, 60x3min [OIII].

Think you are the only one I know using that scope. How do you like it? You have to remove the camera to change filters so is there some filter drawer mechanism for that? Would seem manually changing filters, especially for LRGB imaging would be a pain. Anything with a filter wheel would block light and create some nasty diffraction I'd think. OSC might be the only reasonable alternative. Since I work remote due to liking my sleep and -40C winters going out to change a filter isn't an option, otherwise the scope looks interesting. Sort of a large aperture FSQ (only slightly longer focal length but over 7x the light.

A guy has wanted me to buy his FSQ for years. He keeps dropping the price. If it keeps dropping and I live long enough he'll pay me to take it off his hands. I keep thinking I should as the mount can easily carry it (heavy as it is) along with the LX200R but I just have so many things on the to-do list for the larger scope I keep putting it off.
