When it comes to field illumination for astrophotography, bigger definitely is better! Enter Orion’s new 2" Multiple 4-Filter Wheel, which allows convenient switching of up to four 2" filters for astrophotography. Since many of today’s larger format monochrome Charge Coupled Device (CCD) imagers require 2" telescope filters for larger field illumination, this affordable solution provides fast and easy transition between multiple filters.

The Orion 2" Multiple Filter Wheel can be easily attached to a 2" telescope focuser using the included 2" thread-on nosepiece, which provides maximum field illumination to the imaging camera. A removable T-thread ring on the camera side allows for direct threaded attachment of the filter wheel to astrophotography cameras. Compatible with all 2" Orion imaging filters, the 2" multiple filter wheel is not equipped or recommended for visual use.

This accessory is a must-have for monochrome astrophotographers, who need to take separate exposures through LRGB, or H-alpha, S-II and O-III tri-color imaging filters to obtain a color composite. Light finger pressure is all you need to rotate the wheel until the selected filter clicks into place.

The Orion 2" Multiple 4-Filter Wheel also provides a convenient and secure way to store your astrophotography filters and help protect them from dust and dew. Filters can be easily installed or changed by removing the cover with the included hex key. Requires 22mm additional focus travel. Weighs just 14oz.

This is a fine filter wheel and works great with my Baader 2" narrowband filter set. The amount of pressure required to change the filter positions really is light, but the filters lock into place quite nicely. Perfect if you don't mind doing filter changes manually. Well done, Orion. Excellent value for the price, as usual.

I intend to return the product because I was unable to get the Orion Sky Glow filter to fit correctly, it just would not seat correctly. My Lumicon and Baader filters were easily seated.
I wish it would of worked.

This product is good but there is no numbering system to tell which filter you are using like on your 5 filter model. Also, it is very stiff. Its hard to move the filters around. Otherwise, its good.

Yes, I recommend this product!

I ordered and received this product at my home and began using it for some filter testing I was doing. You must connect to T-thread to use this device. I already had a Canon to T-Thread adapter. I knew from the beginning I would need this because I called tech support before I ordered. I am not sure the Orion ad makes clear that this is needed. I was disappointed in the product when I found that I could not screw a filter into hole number three because the filter hole threads where not cleanly cut. So now my number three hole is my permanent no filter hole. I found the mechanism stiff but usable.
