I have received the ASI174MM and successfully connected with FC. I have taken a few test shots in the house using the wide angle lens off the 120. Capture appears to work fine. Now all we need are a few clear skies to shoot some tests.
that's good news
the lens from ASI120 is CS lens, it cannot focus on ASI174
Yes I noticed it would not focus but it worked fine to test the software connection etc. Now all we need are clear skies!!

This is the ZWO 174 with the wide angle lens of the 120MC. As you all can see, I was able to achieve focus.

yes, but the lens won't provide a full view.
and be careful don't screw too tight if you use the cover of ASI120MC
otherwise the sensor of 174 will be scrached

Thank you, Sam. It was just for test purposes, I will continue using the wide angle attachment with the 120MC and not the 174.
