indigo filter wheel By PEGASUS ASTRO

The new high quality Indigo filter wheel has a 7 position carousel and can accommodate 2 inch mounted or unmounted 50mm filters.
The filter wheel only requires a USB2 (TypeB) cable. This simplifies connectivity as it does not require a separate power supply when used with USB control.

Precise filter selection

The carousel has seven (7) slots and accepts 2 inch mounted or unmounted 50mm filters.

The filter wheel rotates clockwise or counterclockwise for filter selection. A combination of a direct-drive stepper motor and optical encoders ensures that your filter selection is accurate and precise at every filter location. The filter wheel takes the shortest path when switching from one filter to another.

Slim design

The body of the Indigo filter wheel is made of CNC machined aluminum. The high quality aluminum alloy allowed us to design the filter wheel as thin as possible (19.0mm, 19.6mm with adapters installed on both sides).

Orientation on the two adapters

Both sides of the filter wheel have M54 openings. The screw slider adapter (image below) allows you to properly align the orientation of your camera or telescope. Simply unscrew the screws and rotate the adapter into the desired orientation.

Connecting the camera

The 6 screw holes on the side of the camera allow direct connection with astro cameras that follow the same 6-hole pattern (62mm diameter pattern). A nice feature allowing you to reduce the total backfocus instead of placing adapters.
