  • Universal Filter Wheel Adapter for Wanderer ETA

    This Universal Filter Wheel Adapter provides the essential mechanical link for imagers building a streamlined train with the Wanderer ETA. It is specifically designed to create a secure, screw-mounted connection between the ETA and a filter wheel when an off-axis guider is not part of the configuration.

    Direct Filter Wheel Integration for the Wanderer ETA

    For imaging setups configured as Wanderer ETA → Filter Wheel → Camera, this adapter is the required component to join the first two elements. When no OAG is used, it allows for a more compact and rigid imaging train, minimizing potential flexure and simplifying back focus calculations for a wide range of cameras and telescopes.

    Broad Compatibility with Major Filter Wheel Brands

    Engineered for wide-ranging use, this adapter is confirmed to be compatible with popular filter wheels from leading manufacturers. This ensures seamless integration with your existing equipment without the need for custom fabrication.

    • Supported Brands: Directly fits filter wheels from ZWO, QHYCCD, ToupTek, and Player One.
    • Supported Sizes: Accommodates 2-inch, 50mm, and 36mm filter wheel models from the listed brands.
    • Other Brands: For filter wheels from other manufacturers, it is recommended to consult the mechanical drawings to confirm the screw-hole fit before purchase.

  • When do I need this Universal Filter Wheel Adapter for my Wanderer ETA?

    This adapter is required if you are connecting your Wanderer ETA directly to a filter wheel without an Off-Axis Guider (OAG) in the imaging train. It creates the necessary mechanical connection between the two components.

    Is the Wanderer ETA adapter compatible with my ZWO filter wheel?

    Yes, the adapter is fully compatible with ZWO filter wheels, including their 2-inch, 50mm, and 36mm models. It is also compatible with wheels from QHYCCD, ToupTek, and Player One.

    What imaging train configuration is this Wanderer ETA adapter designed for?

    This adapter is designed specifically for the following configuration: Wanderer ETA → Universal Adapter → Filter Wheel → Camera. It is not intended for use in an imaging train that includes an OAG between the ETA and the filter wheel.

    Can I use this Wanderer ETA adapter if I have an Off-Axis Guider (OAG)?

    No, this adapter is intended for setups that do not include an OAG between the Wanderer ETA and the filter wheel. It provides a direct, screw-mounted connection with a 16 mm, 17.5 mm or 19 mm extension, helping you reach 55 mm back focus.

    How can I confirm if this adapter fits a filter wheel not made by ZWO or Player One?

    For filter wheel brands not explicitly listed (ZWO, QHYCCD, ToupTek, Player One), you should consult the manufacturer's mechanical drawings for your specific filter wheel to ensure the mounting hole positions are compatible with the adapter.

    Does the Universal Filter Wheel Adapter work with different filter sizes?

    Yes, it is designed to be compatible with filter wheels that accept 2-inch, 50mm, and 36mm filters from the supported brands. The adapter's function is to connect the body of the filter wheel to the ETA, regardless of the filter size used inside.
