O.K., O.K.. Because of the great demand for filter wheel compatibility we’ve developed the Intelligent Filter Wheel. This is a five-filter wheel system which uses a highly repeatable stepper motor for accurate registration. The IFW uses 2″ (well, actually 50mm) filters and is fully compatible with the SBIG CFW-8 filter wheel. The 5-position filter wheel can be quickly and easily removed and replaced with a second or third filter wheel. The neat thing about this setup is that you don’t have to remove the camera or telecompressor to change filter wheels. Swapping out filter wheels takes about 30 seconds and doesn’t even require re-focusing (unless you use filters of different thicknesses). Check out the IFW.
