This is a 5 position, 1.25" filter wheel ( modified to take the thicker Baader filers), has the 1.25" and T thread nose piece etc etc. Currently retails in UK for 88GBP, I can post Ex-Melbourne ( Mid June) for $150 (plus P&P).
The filter wheel now takes ALL the different Brands of 1.25" Filters. The Baader ones are just that bit deeper and would jamb in the housing. I added a couple of small spacers to give extra clearance.
The Imager’s Filter Wheel The expert imager's and observer’s way to change filters with any camera or 1.25” eyepiece
The Imager’s filter wheel is very similar to our Observers Filter Wheel AC625 above but it has additional features designed to suit the needs of astro imagers. It has the same five-position caddy that allows five separate 1.25” filters to be threaded into position and rotated in front of a fitted eyepiece or camera for rapid selection. The selection of filters in the wheel can be changed at the telescope in seconds without disassembly of the filter wheel casing. But the Imager’s Filter Wheel has fully removable T-threaded 1.25” eyepiece holder and 1.25” nosepiece. The imager’s Filter Wheel has a more robust aluminium body to support even the heaviest CCD camera without distortion. A male/male T-thread adaptor ring is included to allow attachment of the filter wheel to female T-threaded cameras (Starlight Xpress, SBIG CCD etc). An additional ring is available to allow connection of the filter wheel to cameras with a Pentax/Praktika M42 female thread (e.g.some Starlight Xpress cameras). Here are just some of the great features of the Imager’s Filter Wheel:
• Fully removable T-threaded 1.25” eyepiece holder and 1.25” nosepiece
• Slim 23mm body thickness. Works with Meade (ETX, LX90, LX200) and Celestron Maks and SCTs.
• All five filter positions fully threaded to accept standard 1.25” filters
• 1.25” nosepiece also threaded for filters (and AC555 Magni-Max use)
• T-thread adaptor ring for camera connection included
• Tactile click-stop for each filter position
• 95% aluminium construction, CNC-manufactured in the UK to the highest standards
•Filters all enclosed - supplied with anti-dewing cover
• Light-weight construction: less than 300grams (with four typical filters fitted).
Filter wheel and other critical components black anodized finish, main casing and filter cover finished in black resin powder coating.
Please note: this product is supplied without filters.
