Hi all

Is there anyone that has experience with the Octopi camera interface that fit ZWO filter wheels?

It seems to be a very cleverly designed solution to fix tilt and backfocus issues. 

Does anyone know of alternatives - maybe something available in Europe or??

Photon cage could be an option for you. I have used neither and am also in the consideration stage.

I have two of them and use them with ASI6200 cameras to remove tilt. They are well designed, made, and work very well.

I use one for the QHY CFW-3, so not exactly the same as you, but my experience with the device has been great. I took a short exposure of a starfield, loaded into ASTAP, measured tilt, adjusted and repeated. After maybe 10 iterations I found a spot where everything looked good to me.

I settled on the photon cage for my 6200 on the Tak FSQ 85-EDX.  Very well designed, good support, and I was able to get the tilt down to 1-2% using it with NINA.
