- Weighs just 340 g (0.75 lb) with a slim 20 mm (0.79") profile
- Holds five 1.25" filters for fast, precise multi-channel imaging
- Dual-bearing support prevents filter tilt, while two motor speeds ensure stable performance
- Includes 1.25" and M48/M42 adapters for flexible telescope and camera connections
AFW-mini Electronic Filter Wheel
The AFW-mini is compatible with planetary cameras, AstroEye Series multifunction cameras, and deep-sky cameras with smaller sensors. Its compact, lightweight design holds five 1.25" astronomical filters, allowing fast, precise automatic switching without repeated disassembly. Perfect for LRGB, narrowband, and multi-channel imaging, the AFW-mini makes automated astrophotography simpler and more efficient!
Lightweight 340 g Compact Design
Ideal for planetary, solar, lunar, and deep-sky imaging with smaller sensors, the AFW-mini features a slim 20 mm profile that integrates easily into most imaging setups. Its lightweight design minimizes added stress on 1.25" and 2" connections, helping prevent adapter tilt while supporting multiple filters.
Upgraded Support for Smooth Operation
A dual-support structure combining a thrust bearing and a deep-groove ball bearing ensures smooth, stable rotation of the filter carousel. This effectively prevents filter tilt or wobble from affecting image quality.
- Unidirectional rotation is recommended for greater positioning accuracy.
Multiple Adapters for Broad Compatibility
The AFW-mini includes a redesigned M42-to-1.25" T-mount holder with an insertion stop to prevent interference during filter changes. A 1.25" nosepiece, 16.5 mm M48-to-M42 adapter, and protective dust caps provide flexible connections while keeping your equipment protected.
Light Sealing for Uniform Flats
The tightly sealed, light-blocking design prevents stray light from compromising flat-field calibration, ensuring clean and accurate images.
Reliable Performance in Low Temperatures
A high-performance stepper motor and tensioned drive mechanism provide dependable operation even in demanding cold conditions. Two selectable switching speeds improve load capacity and operating stability in low-temperature environments.
- Standard speed: 6 seconds per revolution; Low speed: 12 seconds per revolution.
