Product Description
Our new high-quality Indigo Filter Wheel has a 7 position carousel and can house 2" mounted or 50mm unmounted filters.
Orientation on Both Adapters
Both sides of the filter wheel have M54 openings. The screw slide adapter allows you to properly align the orientation of your camera or telescope side. Just untie the screws and rotate the adapter to the desired orientation.
Accurate Filter Selection
The carousel has seven (7) slots and accepts 2" mounted or 50mm unmounted filters. (Max filter diameter should be 50.8mm).
Filter Wheel rotates clock or counterclockwise direction for filter selection. A combination of a direct drive stepper motor and optical encoders ensures that your filter selection is precise, and deadly accurate on every filter location.
We strongly suggest our photographic 2-inch filters in combination with the Indigo Filter Wheel.
Thin Design
The body of the Indigo filter wheel is aluminum CNC milled. High-quality aluminum alloy allowed us to design the filter wheel as thin as possible. (19.0mm, 19.6mm with adapters installed on both sides).
Camera Connection
The 6 screw holes on the camera side allow direct connection with astronomical cameras that follow the same 6 x hole pattern (62mm diameter pattern) - can accept M3 or M2.5 screws). A neat feature allows you to reduce the total back focus instead of placing adapters.
