The Electronic Filter wheel can be rotated in both counter clockwise or clockwise direction for filter selection.
There are no need for multiple cables to power this wheel up, just one USB cable does the trick.The power consumption of this EFW is approximately 120mAh @ 5V, which can be operated from the Cooled CCD’s USB hub.
The distance between the filter and sensor is around 10mm when you connect it to ASI1600. So 1.25″ filters won’t have vignetting up to F5 focal ratio scope and 31mm filter won’t have vignetting up to F2 lens. Our new RGBL filters are recommended to work with ASI1600, it will offer nearly 1:1:1 RGB color balance.
How to install filters into the ZWO filter wheel
Note: According to ZWO, for unmounted LRGB and OIII filters (without threads), it does not matter which side you put the filters into the wheel. As for the Ha and SII filters, the side with the purple tint is the anti-reflective (camera) side. For your particular filters, please look at the product details to determine which is the anti-reflective side.
