A homemade 4 position manual filter wheel
Hi,
Here is my latest work in progress:
Converting the DSI Pro II monochrome camera to a more
practical filter system without spending too much money.
So far it's only a manual wheel but I have enough clearance
around the filter carousel to put a toothed belt, glued inside
out around it's circumference.
A small dc motor/reduction gearbox I have will mesh with this
nicely.
Total thickness from nosepiece endplate to T-thread the other
side is 22mm...but I could probably shave 3mm off of this and
get 19mm....comparable to the ATIK wheel.
Nosepiece is from the DSI, Baader IR is fitted in it's end.
regards,
Steve B.
