| This SBIG FW8-STL package for the STL series cameras is a stand-alone filter carousel that holds up to eight 50mm drop-in filters (or 48mm threaded filter cells) in any combination. It is available here at a special package price only when ordered with a new SBIG STL camera, and replaces the internal five-filter carousel normally supplied with the camera.
The FW8-STL package comes already bolted to the front of your SBIG STL camera in place of the normal camera front cover. The standard five-filter capacity internal filter carousel normally supplied with the camera is deleted at the factory. This increases the number of filters available for imaging without the need to open the camera body and manually change filters as would be the case with the internal filter wheel. The FW8-STL is supplied without filters. Compared to the existing filter wheel and cover, there is an increase of approximately 0.35" in back focus with the FW8-STL installed.
The accessory plate connector and bolt pattern on the front cover of the camera are duplicated by the FW8-STL filter wheel so that any existing custom accessories made to fit the camera will also fit the new filter wheel. The FW8-STL is compatible with new large format AO-L adaptive optics accessory for STL cameras.
The FW8-STL is controlled through the I2C port. A short jumper cable to the I2C port is the only external cabling required. All power and commands come from the camera and are controlled remotely via software without any other external cable running to the computer or power supply.
The FW8-STL is also available for separate purchase for installation by you in the field if you already have an STL camera (#FW8STL).
