Apparently, QHY is planning on offering more filter kits, like for planetary imaging and photometry - we'll have to wait and see what they come up with!
If you want to use it with an OAG, something like this (plus some M42 spacers and adapters!) should work! https://bit.ly/4haIBQn (Agena) or https://tinyurl.com/2ud7epsw (FLO) or https://tinyurl.com/mr647kzs (Astroshop eu) or https://altairastro.com/m48-to-c-mount-adaptor-converter-for-gpcam-6293-p.asp (M48)
I haven't tested these, but I'm using this one, which looks similar! https://www.moreblue.co.jp/shopdetail/000000000342/ct133/page1/order/
