Pegasus Astro Indigo Filter Wheel - 7 x 2"

The Indigo Filter Wheel offers a range of cutting-edge features to enhance your astrophotography and astronomical observations. This compact and efficient device boasts seamless filter switching, ensuring precise and effortless transitions between filters for minimal image disruption. With its robust build quality and compatibility with 7 position 2inch mounted or 50mm unmounted filters, the Indigo Filter Wheel provides versatility and convenience. Its integrated stepper motor technology and optical encoders allows for precise filter positioning, and it’s designed to work seamlessly with popular astrophotography software for remote operation. Indigo Filter Wheel exclusively utilizes a USB2 (Type B) cable, streamlining connectivity by eliminating the need for a separate power supply when employing USB control. This elegant design choice not only simplifies the setup process but also enhances overall convenience for users. Thin Design: The body of the Indigo filter wheel is aluminium CNC milled. High quality aluminium alloy allowed us to design the filter wheel as thin as possible (19.0mm, 19.6mm with adapters installed on both sides). Orientation on both adapters: Both sides of the filter wheel have M54 openings. The screw slide adapter allows you to properly align the orientation of your camera or telescope side. Just untie the screws and rotate the adapter to the desired orientation. Accurate Filter Selection: The carousel has seven (7) slots and accepts 2-inch mounted or 50mm unmounted filters. (Max filter diameter should be 50.8mm) Filter Wheel rotates clock or counterclockwise direction for filter selection. A combination of a direct drive stepper motor and optical encoders ensures that your filter selection is precise, and deadly accurate on every filter location. The wheel employs a shortest-path algorithm, ensuring the most efficient and optimal filter changes with minimal movement.
