I just bought the QSI 683wsg-8 and i am very impressed with its build quality, the design and its performance.
wish i could say the same about my LRGB processing skills. Such a steep learning curve over one shot colour...
Good luck with your choice

best of luck, i wanted not to fiddle with the filters and wanted an extra one or two - that meant more than 8 and givent the scopes i own and would like to own i wanted the flexibility to use the one camera. nothing wrong with the QSI

I'd suggest putting them in the same order as your capture program expects, Dave, unless you enjoy surprises
Taking tongue out of cheek... it doesn't really matter unless the wheel is very slow to move. Just put them in any order that makes sense to you.

All the programs I have used let you list the filters in any order you like.

Hi David,
At first I found setting up the filter wheel a bit confusing. Not so much the order of the filters, but since every user will have different filters in different order it is necessary to create an .ini file (g2ccd2.ini) that is placed in every folder that might contain the camera driver. So, if you use the Moravian program called SIPS to image with you would place the file there.
My file (it's just a text file with .ini instead of .txt) reads as follows for my 5 filters. Just follow the same convention:
[filters]
Luminance, Black
Red, LRed
Green, LGreen
Blue, LBlue
Ha, LGray
This is discussed in the camera manual. Things may be changed as my manual/camera is more than 2 years old. I just looked at the download of the Moravian site and I see there is a "filter Setup Tool" which I've never used. Perhaps this is automated now!

Great news David, I'm sure you will be happy with the purchase.
I use Sequence Generator Pro for Capture with my G2-8300 and it works a treat. Filters are defined in SGP to match your filter wheel and can be changed anytime.
Setup is straight forward but PM me if you want to check on anything with the Camera/Software
Cheers Geoff
