Power and control are handled by a single USB2 Type B cable, eliminating extra power supplies from your imaging train. A combination of a direct-drive stepper motor and optical encoders provides deadly accurate filter selection, moving to each position via the shortest possible path to minimize downtime between exposures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e7-Position Carousel: High-Precision Selection for 2-inch Filters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for serious imagers, the carousel holds seven different 2-inch mounted or 50mm unmounted filters, enough for LRGB, narrowband SHO, and a photometric filter in a single configuration. The direct-drive stepper motor and optical encoders ensure the wheel lands on the precise filter center every time, rotating either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This system uses a shortest-path algorithm, automatically calculating the most efficient direction to move, saving critical seconds during an automated imaging sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-Thin 19.0mm Profile: Minimal Back Focus Consumption\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery millimeter of back focus is critical. The Indigo Filter Wheel is engineered from high-quality CNC-milled aluminum, allowing for a main body thickness of only 19.0mm (19.6mm with adapters).

For direct camera attachment, the wheel includes a 6-hole pattern on a 62mm diameter circle, a 4-hole pattern for PlayerOne cameras, and a male M42 x 0.75mm thread, ensuring broad compatibility across many brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"DAV-accordion-Q\"\u003eWhat filter sizes does the Indigo Filter Wheel accept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-accordion-A\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Indigo Filter Wheel has a 7-position carousel that accepts standard \u003cstrong\u003e2-inch mounted filters\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e50mm unmounted filters\u003c\/strong\u003e.
