Step 5 Install the telescope 
The other side of the filter wheel can be connected to the telescope by screwing on a standard M54 
(M) to 2 inch ring. 
 
Step 6 Power connection 
The crystal head 4pin control line is used to connect the QHY camera, directly inserting the crystal 
head into the interface of the filter wheel, and the other end is connected to the interface on the 
camera. 

  

Finally, use software for verification. During the normal rotation of the filter wheel, the multi-color 
lamp will continue to be bright. When the filter wheel turntable stops, the multi-color lamp will be 
extinguished; the color of each of the three color lights in each filter hole position will be different 
(each filter) The hole position corresponds to one color). The specific control method is shown in the 
third part. 

 

Third generation filter wheel connection QHY9 instructions: 

The third generation filter wheel filter wheel mounting adapter ring is installed inside the filter 
wheel. To avoid cumbersome, we have already installed it at the time of delivery. The status is as 
shown below.
