Omegon Ultralight Filter Wheel: for lightning-fast filter changes (for visual observation and photography)
This ultralight filter wheel will make your work easier during your observing or photography sessions. Now you can change filters in seconds, almost automatically with a single turn. Suitable for large and small telescopes. It's amazing how a deep-sky object changes when observed with different nebula filters. The days of manual changes with shaky fingers are over.

Summary of the benefits:

  • Switch between 5 1.25" filters with a single twist
  • No wasted time
  • Extremely light: weighs only 254 g
  • High adaptability: T-2 connections on both sides and 1.25" connections - Clear locking of the filter into position

5 filters on one wheel
Prepare your favorite LRGB filters or nebula filters and you'll never have to search for them in the dark again. Pre-assembled filters will always be protected and ready to use.

Just one turn...
...and you can switch between 5 different options. An advantage is that even in complete darkness, you'll know when the filter is engaged. A number from 1 to 5 will always indicate which filter is applied.

Also suitable for small telescopes
We may not have invented the wheel, but we have certainly redesigned it. This is one of the most compact filter wheels we know of. It has a diameter of 85 mm and weighs only 254 g. So it can also be used with small-format telescopes with limited mounts.

T2 connections on both sides with adapter
The T-2 connections on both sides allow you to attach any accessory, as they are standard on amateur astronomy instruments. Also included are a T-2 to 1.25" insert socket adapter and a T-2 to 1.25" eyepiece holder adapter.

Opaque: perfect for astrophotography
Light doesn't escape: very important in astrophotography! The filter wheel is completely opaque inside.

Scope of delivery:

  • 1x filter wheel
  • 1x T2 male to T2 male adapter with knurled edges
  • 1x T2 male to 1.25" adapter for eyepieces and accessories with plastic cover
  • 1x T2 male to 1.25" (31.75mm) connector adapter on telescope with plastic cover
  • 1x 2.5mm Allen key

Tip: The optical path between the two T2 threads is 20 mm. This leaves relatively little clearance on the filter wheel for conventional filters. That's why the filter wheel comes with a spacer ring and longer screws. We recommend installing this directly between the two housing parts when installing filters.
