Hi - Is the 68mm OAG compatible with with ASI6200-MC or the ASI2400-MC? Thanks!

Tech@ZWO

Yes. You can refer to below:

It does NOT work with the ASI2600MC - the OAG cannot bolt directly to the camera body. It only works with the EFW in place - silly design fault for a colour camera!

We never publish such connection method.

xthestreams the OAG cannot bolt directly to the camera body.

Clarification: There is no direct bolt with OAG for all ASI cameras.

@tech@zwo#47689 I am not sure what you mean. I purchased an ASI2600MC and the ZWO M68 OAG and I could not find a way to connect them. The only way I could see to connect them was to buy an EFW, but that makes no sense, why do I need to buy and EFW for a colour camera just to use an OAG?

@tech@zwo#48749 I understand that, my point is that ZWOs documentation and sales materials do not make that clear. It would help if the product description for the OAG warned customers that it does not work without also buying an EFW

for users of the colour cameras this is important to know
