Pegasus Astro's new high-quality Indigo Filter Wheel has a 7 position carousel and can house 2inch mounted or 50mm unmounted filters.

This special bundle also includes 4 of the Optolong LRGB 2" filters! 

  • The Optolong LRGB Filter Set comes four 2” mounted filters, including Red, Green, Blue, and Luminance. They are designed for de-bayered monochrome CCD and CMOS cameras, and work great for both planetary and deep-sky imaging. Like all Optolong filters that are designated as “CCD”, this filter set blocks infrared wavelengths from 700nm to 1100nm so you don't need a separate IR-Cut filter.
  • The transmission of each filter is designed for maximum contrast and beautiful results. There is a gap between the green and red filters that improves color balance and separation by blocking out the Sodium line at 589nm. Also, OIII emission is allowed to overlap on the blue and green filters for more natural color.
  • The Optolong 2” LRGB Filter Set is made with Schott glass that has been multi-coated with an ion-assisted deposition technology to ensure scratch resistance and stability on the central wavelength, or CWL. Each filter cell is made of lightweight, strong metal and is CNC machined, sand-blasted, black anodized, and then laser engraved. The result is a super thin filter cell that will produce a clear aperture of 45mm.

FEATURES:

One cable operation

Filter Wheel requires a USB2 (TypeB) cable only. This simplifies the connectivity as it does not require a separate power supply when used with USB control.

Thin Design

The body of the Indigo filter wheel is aluminum CNC milled. High quality aluminum alloy allowed us to design the filter wheel as thin as possible (19.0mm, 19.6mm with adapters installed on both sides).

Orientation on both adapters

Both sides of the filter wheel have M54 openings. The screw slide adapter (image below) allows you to properly align the orientation of your camera or telescope side. Just untie the screws and rotate the adapter to the desired orientation.

Accurate filter selection

The carousel has seven (7) slots and accepts 2-inch mounted or 50mm unmounted filters. (Max filter diameter should be 50.8mm)

Filter Wheel rotates clock or counterclockwise direction for filter selection. A combination of a direct drive stepper motor and optical encoders ensures that your filter selection is precise, and deadly accurate on every filter location.

We strongly suggest the photographic 2-inch filters in combination with the Indigo Filter Wheel.

Camera Connection

The 6 screw holes on the camera side allow direct connection with astronomical cameras that follow the same 6 x hole pattern (62mm diameter pattern) – can accept M3 or M2.5 screws). A neat feature allows you to reduce the total back focus instead of placing adapters.
