ZWO EFW 8 x 1.25" / 31,7 mm (56430)

ZWO EFW 8x1.25"/31.7 mm Advanced Filter Wheel

The ZWO EFW 8x1.25"/31.7 mm Advanced Filter Wheel is a cutting-edge solution for astronomers looking to enhance their astrophotography setups. This versatile filter wheel allows for seamless integration of up to eight 1.25" or 31 mm filters, providing ample room for a comprehensive range of filters, including LRGB and Hα, S-II, and O-III from the HST palette.

Operating the filter wheel is straightforward, thanks to its ASCOM-compatible software. Connect effortlessly to your computer or directly to your camera's USB output using a single USB 2.0 cable. The sleek, black housing is precision-crafted from high-quality aluminum alloy using CNC technology, and the filter wheel is driven by a reliable stepper motor from the reputable Japanese company NPM.

One of the standout features is the minimal distance between the filter and the camera matrix, effectively eliminating vignetting even with high-intensity telescopes. For instance, when paired with the ASI 1600 camera, vignetting is prevented at f/5 for 1.25" filters and at f/2 for 31 mm filters.

Before purchasing, ensure compatibility by verifying the required back focus of your camera.
