I require seamless automation of the filters, so it needs to be motorised, ASCOM compliant, reliable, etc. It needs to be relatively thin to fit in similar thickness as the CFW-8.
FLI and many others have filter wheels, but I really don't know what's easiest to slot in in this scenario.
1.25" filters.
Any ideas?

Starlight Express make a 7 position USB powered filter wheel. It gets detected by Windows automatically and you are off to go. I have one 5 position one and its quite well made. They also sell an OAG that is easily used with it so you can get a guiding solution as well. They cost about US$425 from OPT. That's one of the cheapest around. There is one for sale in the classifieds with a full set of Baaders.
