Usage Rating for EFW-7 Filter Motor??

Given that Cameras such as the ASI1600MM-C work so well when using a Massive Count of Short Exposures, efforts to use "Vertical Imaging Plans" will heavily tax the EFW-7's Filter Change Motor.

What is the Duty Cycle and Usage Rating for the Filter Wheel Motor?? For the Filter Wheel Axle??

Any recommendations for Usage??

the motor can run up to 8000 hours

so you don't need to worry about it

Good, was hoping so...

Running a Vertical Imaging Plan with Dither only after each LUM would mean every Image would have the effect of a Dithered Image.

Since the ASI1600MM-C leads us to shoot copious Short Images, shooting a Horizontal Imaging Plan with a Dither after every Image or even every 3rd or 5th would significantly slow the Total Capture Plan.
