Starlight Xpress Maxi USB Filterwheel 11x 36mm, M72 - M72 (56798)

The Starlight Xpress Maxi USB Filterwheel 11x 36mm, M72 - M72 is designed for astrophotographers who use large format cameras and need a high-capacity, motorized filter wheel. This model holds up to eleven 36mm unmounted round filters and features a large 65mm clear aperture with M72 x 1mm threads on both the input and output sides. The integrated off-axis guide assembly is compatible with many guide cameras, especially the Starlight Xpress Lodestar X2, making precise and stable guiding easy to achieve. The wheel supports several carousel options for different filter sizes and shapes, and unmounted filters can be up to 5mm thick.

The Maxi filter wheel uses the same control protocol as smaller SX wheels and is powered and controlled via USB, so no external power supply is needed unless you use the serial input, which requires a small battery. The standard output adaptor ring is a male M72 x 1mm thread, allowing for direct connection to cameras like the Trius SX-35 or SX-36.
