Our Orion Multiple 5-Filter Wheel and Color Filter Set includes the Orion 5-Position 1.25" Filter Wheel and Set of Four 1.25" Color Filters (#15 Deep Yellow, #25 Red, #58 Green and #80A Medium Blue) for optimized planet study.

I live in a red zone just outside of a major metropolitan area. I???ve purchased the SkyGlow Broadband and Narrowband filters along with a Moon filter (13%). I purchased the Orion Multiple Filter Wheel (MFW) to alleviate the tediousness of removing the filters from various eyepieces (EPs). From a construction perspective, it is well build and performs mechanically as advertised. However, if you own a fast Newtonian like the Orion 10??? Intelliscope (f 4.7) be prepared to place a Barlow lens in the optical path to allow your EPs to come to focus because of the additional 20 mm injected in the optical path. I placed an Orion Shorty 2X Barlow between the scope and the MFW. To my delight I was able to reach focus with albeit smaller field of view (FOV) and higher magnification.
Favorite viewing location:??Home
Favorite object to observe:??Globular Clusters
Pros: well built
Yes, I recommend this product!

Porrello

Be aware that, although this filter wheel is very well made and I have NO complaints there, because of the extra inward focus travel required (stated as 20mm) to compensate for the addition of the filter wheel in the light path, that far away objects are no longer able to be sharply focused, at least on my Orion 90mm F/10.1 Refractor. There simply isn't enough inward focus travel left to compensate! I am therefore unable to view Stars and Other Deep Space Objects with the filter wheel in place with my Light Pollution and Nebular Filters installed which is why I purchased it in the first place! I could barely get the mountains 20 miles away from my home in focus. I can't comment on other tubes not knowing their measurements. Orion needs to FULLY REVEAL which of their telescopes have enough focus travel for this otherwise fine item to be used, as you may get stuck with one like I did. This item should be pulled from sale until a full disclosure of the compatible products is in the product description! Just telling someone it needs 20mm more travel doesn't mean JACK to a novice! Note from Orion: Regrettably, it is not possible to provide a complete list of telescopes that are compatible with the filter wheel. Different accessories will result in wide variances in the amount of travel required. All cameras have an inconsistent amount of back focus required, whether the camera is coupled to the telescope via t-threads or a t- adapter will affect the distance from the focal plane, visual setups that use a diagonal, and wide field vs. standard eyepieces are some examples why a specific product list is not practical. When using a telescope with an external focuser you can see if there is an available 20mm of travel. Most Cassegrains have an abundance of travel and adding accessories is not usually an issue.
