Finally I think I'm setup basically how I want. Modified Losmany G-11 Gemini, soon to be upgraded to Level 4, Orion 102 ED, Meade AR-6, Canon 350D modified, Meade DSI-C. At least till the William Optics FLT-132 gets here. The FLT will replace the Meade AR-6 in this setup. Got all the connections to mount and autoguiding working today. And in the 2nd pic you can see the new Robin Cassidy TGAD (Tandem Guidescope Aiming Device) with the AR-6 mounted to it.
Setup to see if I can get some H-Alpha imaging in tonight with the Baader H-Alpha 7nm filter.
In the background in the first pic is the roll off roof observatory housing my Meade LX200GPS 14"er.

Hi Tom,
Thats a mighty fine setup you got there. even better that you are happy with it. it seems no matter what i do to my setup i'm never quite happy:)
I've been enviously eyeing the FLT-132. I'd be grateful if you'd post back when you have had time to play with it a bit. It's a lot of money to invest in glass, but it does look worth it.
The other thing I've been doing some research on is TEC cooling my modified 300D. I've found some interesting links on this. What put me off before is, I assumed condensation on the sensor would be a huge issue. But from what I read it doesn't seem to be a problem unless you live in an extreme climate.
Anyway the hunt for the perfect setup continues. Thanks for posting yours.
PS. Here's my current setup.

Very nice setup there.
Can I ask how do you find the colour correction of the AR-6?
