Product Details
The affordable and lightweight ZWO 7-position Electronic Filter Wheel weighs just 400g (14.1oz) so it won't break your budget or bog down your telescope mount. With a thickness of 20mm (0.79"), this filter wheel is made of black-anodized aircraft-grade aluminum and uses a whisper-quiet Japanese-made stepper motor to help ensure years of reliable field use. When used with a monochrome astronomy camera, this electronic filter wheel and a set of color or narrowband filters (not included) allow you to capture spectacular color images of astronomical objects. The filter wheel's carousel holds up to 7 unmounted filters with a diameter of 36mm (filters not included).
The bi-directional electronic filter wheel is powered and controlled through the USB port on your camera or directly via a USB cable connected to your computer, so you don't need any extra power supplies to power the wheel. A USB2.0 cable is included. When the ASCOM driver is installed, the wheel can be controlled with a wide range of standard astronomy and imaging software.
The filter wheel includes a T2 nosepiece, a holder T2, T2-T2 adapter, and a small screwdriver and screw package. It also includes a 7-position filter carousel that 36mm unmounted filters which are held in place with M2 retaining screws (included).
