Thank you Sam.

I have made quick test to see if everything works and it does. EFW works perfectly with the camera USB hub, the mono sensor looks great and the cooling works.

I was able to plug the camera on my Canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens and as i have also buy the holder ring for the camera, i will be able to make realtime videos of the sky using my mount.

Just waiting for some good skies to make real tests.
