I'm a lucky guy

It was my birthday on Wednesday.

Among the terrific prezzies and treats I received from my partner Rae was this gem, the new ATIK electric filter wheel.

It's going to make planetary imaging all the more pleasant...and may even end up doubling as a DSO wheel

It's a really nice unit. Very similar to the manual wheel I now have up for sale here at IIS. The other good thing is that there's a USB interface due for release any day now, which will allow for computer control of the wheel

Anyway...I'm stoked...

I've included a pic showing it plugged in to my power pack...along with the nifty little hand control unit.

I'm also looking at getting some new RGB filters, so a set of 'as new' Astronomik L-RGB Type 2 filters will soon be up for grabs.

What a great day.
