Description

ZWO EFW 5×2 inch Elektronic Filter Wheel

The ZWO filter is manufactured from a single piece of aluminum piece with a CNC machine. The heart of the filter wheel is the stepper motor from NPM from Japan. This ensures quality and reliability. An advantage of the ZWO filter wheel is that you do not need a separate cable for power supply. The filter wheel is powered with only a USB cable. The filter wheel uses a maximum of 120mAh 5V, so you could feed the filter wheel from the USB hub on, for example, cooled ZWO cameras.

In this filter wheel you can store 5 filters in the size 2 inch or 50.4 mm unmounted filters. The thickness of the filter wheel is 20 mm. At the motor, the thickness of the filter wheel is 33 mm.
Another advantage of such a smaller filter wheel is that it is lightweight and therefore easier to balance. Mainly than the telescope on the declination axis. Often a little sliding of the telescope is enough to find the right balance.
