  • Description

Most SBIG filter wheels require a direct connection to an SBIG camera to be operated. Some specialized imaging configurations either require additional filter wheels, or a direct SBIG camera connection is not possible.   In this case, the SBIG USB to Filter Wheel Adapter (USB-FW) can be used to control the wheel.

Features:

  • USB Mini B interface, 15 foot (4.5 m) USB A to Mini B cable included
  • DB-9 style I2C connector for filter wheel – connects to original filter wheel cable
  • Universal AC power supply with 9 foot (2.7 m) extension cable and locking power connector included
  • Uses ASCOM driver for control from most astronomical imaging software or via custom scripts
  • Works with SBIG AFW series filter wheels, FW8S-STXL, FW8S-STT, FW8-8300, and FW7-STX.
  • Supports dual wheel operation for the SBIG AFW series wheels
