Antlia Main Body/Base Filter Drawer (B-001)

I decided to go with Antlia instead of ZWO because it can be configured the adapters for both sides of the drawers directly with rings. I figured it should cut down the number of adapter rings required overall in the imaging train. It can also be used as a make shift "rotator" as the adapter rings are held by 2 small screws, and it can be turned independently on both sides.

I am only giving it 4 stars because

1. The holding screws for the rings are very small, and since I am using a mirrorless camera on one end, sometimes it moves when I bumped against the camera. (I taped it down once finalize my framing) Perhaps add another ****? (there are 2 screws to lock the adaptor ring down)

2. I wish the unit has degree markings/engraving on the main body and a marking on the rings (even just a painted line), so it can be used as a rotator for reframing with multiple imaging sessions.
