Followup - Chosen a camera - looking for advice on filters / wheel

Hi all,

I have chosen to go with mono (please dont try convert me to OSC, I have made the choice and willing to roll with it just now haha)

I have went for an Altair 115m hypercam to use with my WO GT81. 

Does anyone know if I will be able to use 1.25" filters with this? and If I can will I be able to use them in a drawer or wheel in terms of backspacing etc?

Any help greatly appreciated

Nice setup. Just curious if you considered the QHY equivalent? Reason I ask is that is on my list together with their bolt on filterwheel.... If you are planning on using more than 1 filter then I would get a filterwheel for sure. I have the ZWO 294MC and use 1.25" filters and have not seen any real issues, what slight vignetting that is there calibrates out with flats.

I got a good deal with an ex demo 115 :) 

thank you for help with the filters
