Yes - it's a 5 position filter wheel LRGB & Ha filter loaded.
All the LRGB are truly parfocal.

There is a QHY camera result of images flickr page here:

If you buy the same as I have - you will be able to make it all work quickly
instead of mucking around.
You can even adjust the coma corrector spacing for your system.
Some plastic material was removed from the filter wheel to make it all fit.
Allen head screws were added to the OAG to make it tighter - otherwise it slipped.
The QHY camera is so easy to use - it's easier than a DSLR.


All we both need now is some decent weather.
Thanks for the info. from the looks of it the QHY filter wheel maxes out at 5 spots? hmmm i was thinking of a bigger wheel, i just don't want to be in a position where i look back and wish i got a bigger wheel with more spots. but it is good to know that your system works
