for the MPCC I got a custom made adapter that goes between the CFW and the MPCC. Its 16.3mm long. This takes into account the width of the filters and their affect on the optical distance between the MPCC and the sensor. It cost me $200 AUD from precise parts in the USA..

Ashley at Precise parts would be able to make you an adapter to go between the ST8300 and the STL FW8 no worries.. Send him and email and he'll do up a quote.. . You don't need to know the specifics of the adapter required, just tell him "I need an adapter to attache the T-Threaded ST8300 to the SBIG FW8 filter wheel" He has technical drawings of all the latest gear, knows the setups and will get back to you within 24hours with a price...

Had I realised that at the time I probably would have bought an FW8... As you say, it runs of an I2C cable that plugs straight into the ST8300, the FLI wheel requires its own USB and 12v power.
