  • Indigo Filter Wheel + LRGB 2'' Mounted Filter Set Optolong

    This bundle combines the 7-position Pegasus Astro Indigo Filter Wheel with a complete 4-filter set of 2-inch mounted Optolong LRGB filters, creating an integrated, out-of-the-box solution for full-color astronomical imaging with monochrome cameras. The 7-position wheel provides three extra slots for future expansion into narrowband or other specialized filters beyond the included Luminance, Red, Green, and Blue set.

    Indigo 7-Position, 2-Inch Filter Wheel: Precise, Automated Imaging

    The core of this bundle is the Pegasus Astro Indigo Filter Wheel, engineered for reliable, automated filter changes during your imaging sessions. Its 7-position carousel accepts standard 2-inch mounted filters, secured for consistent, repeatable placement in the optical path. The wheel is powered and controlled via a single USB connection, simplifying cable management and integrating seamlessly with standard acquisition software via ASCOM and INDI drivers.

    Optolong 2-Inch LRGB Filter Set: Foundational Color Imaging

    Paired with the wheel is a complete set of 2-inch mounted LRGB filters from Optolong, the essential foundation for producing true-color astrophotos. This set includes Luminance, Red, Green, and Blue filters, allowing you to capture detailed monochrome data across the visible spectrum and combine them into a final color image. The 2-inch format is ideal for cameras with larger sensors, helping to prevent vignetting and ensure even illumination from edge to edge.

  • What is the advantage of the Indigo Filter Wheel's 7-position design?

    The 7-position design provides significant flexibility. After installing the 4 included LRGB filters, you have 3 empty slots remaining. This allows you to expand your imaging capabilities by adding narrowband filters (like H-alpha, OIII, and SII) without needing to open the wheel and swap filters, enabling both broadband and narrowband imaging in a single night.

    Is this Indigo Filter Wheel and Optolong LRGB bundle ready to use out of the box?

    Yes, this is a complete solution for adding automated LRGB imaging to your setup. You will need to install the filters into the wheel, connect the wheel to your PC via USB, and install the necessary ASCOM or INDI drivers. Once configured, your imaging software can control filter selection automatically.

    Can I use unmounted filters with the Indigo Filter Wheel?

    This specific model of the Indigo Filter Wheel is designed for 2-inch mounted (threaded) filters. To use unmounted filters, you would need a different filter carousel designed for that purpose.

    How does this Indigo Filter Wheel and Optolong LRGB set perform on the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) with a monochrome camera?

    This set is ideal for a target like the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). You would capture long exposures through the Luminance filter to record fine detail in the spiral arms and dust lanes. Shorter exposures through the Red, Green, and Blue filters would capture the color information, the yellowish core and blue-tinted star-forming regions, which you would then combine with the Luminance data for a detailed, full-color final image.

    Is the 2-inch format necessary for my telescope?

    The 2-inch filter format is highly recommended for telescopes with 2-inch focusers and for imaging cameras with APS-C or larger sensors. It provides a larger clear aperture, which helps to avoid vignetting (darkening of the corners) that can occur when using smaller 1.25-inch filters with large sensors or fast optical systems.

    What software is compatible with the Indigo Filter Wheel?

    The Indigo Filter Wheel is compatible with any astronomy software that supports the ASCOM (for Windows) or INDI (for Linux/macOS) standards. This includes popular imaging suites like N.I.N.A., Sequence Generator Pro (SGP), KStars/Ekos, and TheSkyX.
