Starlight Xpress USB Filterwheel 5x 50.8mm, SCT - T2 (24759)

The Starlight Xpress USB Filter Wheel 5x 50.8mm, SCT - T2 is a motorized filter wheel designed for astrophotography and advanced imaging. It operates entirely from USB power, with its efficient DC gearmotor drawing less than 100mA, so no separate power supply is needed when using USB control. The wheel can also be operated via a serial input or a hand controller powered by a small dry battery. Its lightweight, slim design features a thumbscrew system that allows users to easily swap filter disks without tools.

This filter wheel supports several configurations, including:

• 5 x 2" mounted filters, SCT-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 5 x 2" mounted filters, T2-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 5 x 50.8mm unmounted filters, SCT-thread (input), M72-thread (output)

• 5 x 50.8mm unmounted filters, SCT-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 7 x 1.25" mounted filters, T2-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 7 x 1.25" mounted filters, SCT-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 7 x 36mm unmounted filters, SCT-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

• 7 x 36mm unmounted filters, T2-thread (input), T2-thread (output)

Female input threads face the telescope, while male output threads face the camera. Various threaded adapters are available, including T2, SCT, M48, M54, M56, and M72. Adapters can be swapped by loosening three stainless screws, and each flange can be rotated to set the wheel and camera at the best angle.
