The ToupTek 8 Position 1.25-inch Electronic Filter Wheel is a high-quality, motorized filter wheel designed for astrophotography and other scientific imaging applications. It can accommodate up to eight 1.25-inch unmounted filters, making it an ideal choice for those who require a versatile and reliable filter switching system.

Constructed with precision and durability in mind, the AFW8 x 1.25in features a robust body crafted from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum. This unibody design ensures exceptional rigidity and stability, minimizing potential flexing or misalignment issues. The aluminum body is further enhanced by a sandblasted and anodized finish, providing a sleek and corrosion-resistant surface.

One of the standout features of the AFW8 x 1.25in is its M54 x 0.75 female threads on both sides. This design choice helps to reduce vignetting, a common issue when using large sensor cameras or telescopes with fast focal ratios. By minimizing vignetting, users can maximize the imaging potential of their equipment, capturing more detail and achieving better image quality.

With a compact thickness of only 20mm, the AFW8 x 1.25in can easily integrate into most common imaging trains, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of setups. Its slim profile ensures minimal obstruction and allows for efficient light transmission, further enhancing imaging performance.

Convenient operation is ensured through the AFW8 x 1.25in's USB 2.0 interface, which provides both power and control capabilities. Users can connect the filter wheel directly to their imaging computer or, alternatively, utilize the USB 2.0 hub found on ToupTek's ATR3 series cooled CMOS cameras for seamless integration.
