Description of 🌌 Astromania 1.25-Inch Filter Wheel with Five Filter Positions for Telescopes

It is 5-Position 1.25" Filter Wheel For Telecope. and high-quality telescope filter wheel allows you to quickly and easily change.A huge time-saver for filtered planetary and lunar observation using different color filters, or for tri-color astrophotography pursuits. Included 5-Position 1.25" Filter Wheel lets you install all filters and then dial-in the 1.25" filter you want to use for a particular astrophotographic exposure. The filters can be changed very quickly at any time. The robustly constructed filter wheel is supplied with a 1.25" eyepiece adaptor, 1.25" focuser nosepiece, T-2 camera adaptor and locking ring. The filter wheel can be attached to your focuser either by the supplied 1.25" nosepiece adaptor or via a T-thread. It is ideally suitable for visual observations with 1.25" eyepieces. and with the included T2 adapter it is also perfectly suitable for astrophotography with single lens reflex cameras and CCD cameras. Keep in mind that use of the Multiple Filter Wheel requires 20mm of inward focus travel. This will not be a problem for most telescope designs, but could be a problem for Newtonian reflectors. The included T2 adapter comes with a locking ring, whereby high-precision distance regulation becomes possible.Its very sturdy aluminum housing makes it also suitable for heavy cameras. Use: The Astromania Multiple Filter Wheel features a helpful number system that allows you to quickly place the filter of your choice into the light path. Simply note the reference number of each filter during installation, then rotate the knurled wheel until the desired number is displayed in the small notch in the filter wheel housing. Care and Storage: Feel free to leave your 1.25" filters installed in the wheel during storage. To avoid excessive dust buildup, be sure to attach the dustcaps prior to storing, and use a foam-lined accessory case. The foam-lined box your Multiple Filter Wheel arrives in also acts as a convenient storage container. Simply unthread the 1.25" nosepiece from the filter wheel and place the wheel and nosepiece in the diecut foam. Now you can safely store your filter wheel without worrying about dust.

Good, but room for improvement

I bought this 1.25" disc because I love the design and performance of the 2" Astromania filter disc. Overall, the 1.25-inch version performs the same but not as well as the 2-inch version. In the 2-inch version, the wheel rotates on 5 fixed metal balls, so no parts fly around when the housing is opened to insert the filters. The 1.25" version was designed for 5 metal balls but mine only included 3. I thought it was defective and was going to send it back, but then I read the comments from other

Pros
  • Use: The Astromania Multi-Filter Wheel has a handy number system that allows you to quickly place a filter of your choice in the beam path. When installing, simply make a note of each filter's ID number, then turn the thumbwheel until the correct number appears in the small notch on the filter wheel housing.
Cons
  • Some small things

Generally good. good for accessory

One of the 5 locations has a threading problem. Luckily I had a filter that didn't bother me much so I put that in first to fix the threads so as not to damage one of my more expensive filters. You'll have to deduct a star for that, since the possibility of damaging any of your other gear is a big problem. Also the hole the wheel sticks out through so you can change position - gaping! I can't think of any scenario other than total darkness where the ambient light doesn't penetrate. The gap is…

Pros
  • Note that the multi-filter wheel requires a focus movement of 20 mm inwards. This is not a problem for most telescope designs, but can be a problem for Newtonian reflectors. The included adapter T2 comes with a locking ring that allows high-precision distance adjustment. With a very strong aluminum body, it is also suitable for heavy cameras.
Cons
  • weak
