"Meoptex 1.25"" Filter Wheel - change your filter in seconds
This 1.25"" filter wheel lets you use up to 9 different filters and change them within a couple of seconds -your filters are always remain ready to use, whether for photography or visual observing. Use the filter wheel with UHC, OII, CLS and other filters, for example - this will let you quickly and easily find the best filter when visually observing.
Space for up to 9 filters - which are also well protected
Open the filter wheel and screw up to 9 different filters into it. These can be RGB and luminance filters for astrophotography or wide-band and narrow-band filters for visual observing. You can also leave the filters mounted in the filter wheel, where they are optimally protected from dust and damage.
Simply rotate to change filter
Imagine you have a camera mounted on your telescope and have to switch between different filters as quickly as possible. This is only possible using a filter wheel. The handy rotary wheel offers you incredibly fast switching between up to 9 different filters. Each filter position is designated by a number, so you know which filter is currently in the beam path.
T-2 connector on both sides
The telescope side of the filter wheel comes supplied with a 1.25"" adapter, allowing you to quickly and easily attach it to your focuser. The filter wheel also has a T-2 thread on the telescope side for other adapters. On the accessory side, you will also find a T-2 and M48 thread. You can connect your camera or eyepiece connector here.
Protected against stray light
The filter wheel interior is absolutely light-tight - allowing you to image without any reflections or stray light.

Despite some of the negative reviews I purchased this unit and it was easy to install the 5 filters and is working great on my little 5" refractor. It is quite light weight which is a bonus for my light weight mount. I'd buy a 2nd one if I needed more filters.

The item was exactly as expected, well constructed and appears to be very durable. The only thing that prevented me from giving it 5 stars was the fact that the product came with absolutely no manual or instructions, nor does there appear to be one available online. That isn't a huge problem, because the device is straightforward enough that it is easy enough to figure out. But it is a little surprising that something of that nature was not included.

buy this if you don't want to invest in expensive motorized version yet. get this and try it out. get your astro pics and see how far you get. then ultimately buy motorized version so that you can control from your computer and not have to get up and keep changing in cold weather or hot weather, whichever. Your telescope's will change so you have to center it again. and if you're imaging planets then RGB filter shots need to be done fast otherwise those planets won't stop rotating for you. but this filter wheel is a good experience. also when you disassemble, keep a mental note where each things go and have the front side facing you otherwise the tiny roll ball and spring will come off and you may loose them. afterwards assembly is not that bad.I also got one filter slot that's threaded not properly so poor machining on their part. Only able to use 4 slots..so gave them 4 stars.

Decent build quality, however the plastic sides are tacky/breaking down. Like it was sprayed with a solvent that ate into the plastic. Be careful opening it up, as it has tiny springs and bearing balls in it that will vanish if dropped.
