Is it ok to use mounted 2" filters or use 50mm round with a ZWO6200MM?  Ta

Yes. I use Chroma 2" mounted filters with a 6200MM and here's what a flat frame look like. The extreme corners do get corrected.
Ensure that the scope also support the image circle of full-frame.

The 6200 is a full frame sensor, and has a 44mm imagecircle. So the inner diameter of the filter needs to be bigger than that. A mounted 2" filter with most likely M48 threads is cutting it really close there and you might see vignetting, so you probably want to go with the 50mm round filters.

my setup  : zwo 6200 mm with  chroma 50mm unmounted 
   i recommend a OTA  with full frame , and M54  optical train to avoid vignetting 

here is  the link yo my setup one with FLT 120  and   TAKA Q Baby

Appreciate the feed back and time for the image of the flat.  Some set up there Brian; amazing gear.  I will look at the 50mm unmounted.  Chroma though will have to take a back seat though..
Thank you for your time.

6200 mm + 50mm unmounted.
That's the minimum way!
I also prefer to use M68 openings, but M54 works.
