Product Info

Manufacturer Description

Monochrome CCD cameras require the use of multiple filters to achieve a color image. A filter wheel makes it easy to toggle between filters while imaging, without moving your camera or telescope. Simply turn the dial to scroll through your available filters. If you need to swap out a filter, just open the quick-release door to the internal carousel, replace the filter, and get back to imaging in no time. The filter wheel's sturdy, machined aluminum construction and high-quality components, including spring-loaded steel ball bearings, will give you years of enjoyment.

Celestron has designed this 5-position filter as the perfect complement to their Skyris monochrome CCD cameras. The wheel threads directly to your Skyris camera body. However, it's also compatible with a variety of other imaging cameras thanks to the included T-thread and C-thread adapters. Accepts most standard 1.25" format filters. Filters not included.

Specifications:

  • Weight: 11.3oz (312g)
  • Camera adaptable: Standard T-thread, standard C-thread
  • Barrel size: 1.25in (31.7 mm) 
  • Included accessories: Filter wheel assembly, 1.25" nosepiece, camera C-thread adapter (for Skyris), camera T-thread adapter, C-thread rotation lock ring, T-thread rotation lock ring

Product carries full 2 year Celestron factory limited warranty (within US/Canada only).

      5.0 nicer than i thought

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      I paid a little more for this so I wouldn't get a cheap piece of plastic, this is sturdy and allows great access with the filter door. When turning the wheel each filter clicks in place, I am glad I spent a little more for a quality filter wheel. =D

      5.0 Great Tool

      Pros:

      Cons:

      Comments:

      This very nicely made filter wheel will be coupled to a Skyris 236M imager. I have not used it yet but have installed the LRGB filters. The holdup is building a light shield to house the computer in for solar photos. The scope is a PST Double Stack giving magnificent views. Our sun is putting on quite a show.
