It fits both the original Origin Intelligent Home Observatory and the Origin Mark II. You can use it to replace a lost drawer, or keep a second drawer loaded with a different filter. The drawer takes standard 1.25\" and 2\" filters. It measures 2.4\" × 2.5\" × 0.5\" and weighs 1 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match if you image with a Celestron Origin and switch filters between targets, for example a light-pollution or narrowband filter for nebulae and a clear filter for galaxies and star clusters.
