TS filter wheel for 5 x 1.25" filters - short with T2 and 1.25" connection
For fast and safe filter changes, ideal for astrophotography and visual observation. The TS filter wheel for five 1.25" filters is optimized for visual applications, but can also be used for astrophotography. The housing is made of aluminum, which is very stable. Nothing bends, even with heavy cameras. The filters they fit exactly in the right position, so that the full pass of the filter can be used.
The advantages of the TS filter wheel:
♦ filters are safely stored in the filter wheel
♦ You can change filters in seconds - camera or eyepiece stays connected
♦ Flexible T2 connector on the telescope side - 1.25" and T2 connector on the camera side
♦ easy loading of filters in few seconds
♦ Solid construction - all metal
♦ Adjustment through a practical knurled ring with precise locking: the filter positions are numbered
Connection on the eyepiece side / areas of application:
Visual application: The TS filter wheel can accommodate all 1.25" eyepieces and can therefore be used for visual observation. Equip the filter wheel with color filters and see the different filter effects immediately on the moon and planets. Or use 1.25" UHC-, H-Beta and O-III Filters and compare the different effects of the filters on the deep sky object.
Photographic application: The TS filter wheel is also supplied with a T2 connection, which allows the adaptation of a CCD camera. A counter ring enables a sensitive determination of the distance, for example if an exact distance to an offset is required. Starting from the T2 thread, we offer adapters for all common threads or cameras. The filter wheel is particularly easy to equip: loosen the two edge screws on the side without inscription and the central Phillips screw and then you can remove the bottom part of the housing and easily screw the filter into the bracket. Then replace the housing part and the filter wheel is immediately ready for use.
