This filter wheel enables motorized, computer-controlled filter changes.
Offers 7 positions, precisely defined Accepts round filters, 2" mounted or 50mm unmounted Easy to insert the filters after removing the telescope side cover Thin design, only 19.6mm optical path Alignment can be finely adjusted Single cable operation via USB, no power cable Pegasus Astro Indigo filter wheel - 7 positions for 2" filters Pegasus Astro's new high quality Indigo filter wheel features a 7 position carousel for mounted 2" or unmounted 50mm filters.
Accurate filter selection The filter wheel rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to select filters. A combination of direct-drive stepper motor and optical encoder ensures your filter selection is precise and absolutely accurate at every filter position.
Thin design The Indigo filter wheel housing is made of CNC machined aluminum. The high-quality aluminum alloy made it possible to make the filter wheel as thin as possible (19.6 mm).
Alignment for both adapters Both sides of the filter wheel have M54 openings. The screw adapter allows you to properly align the orientation of your camera or telescope sides. Simply loosen the screws and rotate the adapter to the desired orientation.
Camera connection The 6 screw holes on the camera side allow direct connection of astronomical cameras, which follow the same 6-hole pattern (62mm diameter). A handy feature allows you to reduce the entire flange focus range instead of attaching adapters.
Operation via a cable The filter wheel only requires a USB2 cable (Type B). This simplifies connectivity as no separate power supply is required when using USB control.
