Hardware Reference
This section describes the
CFW-9
Color Filter Wheel accessory
for the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 USB cameras. It includes instructions on
how to install and operate the filter wheel.
Attaching to the CCD Camera
The
CFW-9
is installed onto the camera and sits between the
Camera Head and the Telescope.
The filter wheel contains a magazine with five filter positions
capable of holding standard threaded 1.25 inch eyepiece filters.
SBIG provides optional filters for use with the
CFW-9
. The filter
wheel attaches to other accessories through the universal T-Thread.
The front and back of the
CFW-9
have apertures with female T-
threads. Using T-Thread makes the
CFW-9
adaptable to a variety of
telescopes. You can attach a 1.25 inch or 2 inch nosepiece into the
front or you can attach an adapter that mates directly to the back of
SCTs, replacing the standard Visual Back.
