The heart of the filter wheel is the stepper motor from NPM from Japan. This ensures quality and reliability. An advantage of the ZWO filter wheel is that you do not need a separate cable for power supply. The filter wheel is powered with only a USB cable. The filter wheel uses a maximum of 120mAh 5V, so you could feed the filter wheel from the USB hub on, for example, cooled ZWO cameras.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27943\" title=\"ZWO EFW 5x2 inch Elektronic Filter Wheel \" src=\"https:\/\/www.ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1.jpg\" alt=\"ZWO EFW 5x2 inch Elektronic Filter Wheel \" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1.jpg 608w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-324x338.jpg 324w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-416x434.jpg 416w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-126x132.jpg 126w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-500x522.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-1-450x470.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In this filter wheel you can store 5 filters in the size 2 inch or 50.4 mm unmounted filters. The thickness of the filter wheel is 20 mm. At the motor, the thickness of the filter wheel is 33 mm.<br \/>\nAnother advantage of such a smaller filter wheel is that it is lightweight and therefore easier to balance. Mainly than the telescope on the declination axis. Often a little sliding of the telescope is enough to find the right balance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27945\" title=\"ZWO EFW 5x2 inch Elektronic Filter Wheel \" src=\"https:\/\/www.ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2.jpg\" alt=\"ZWO EFW 5x2 inch Elektronic Filter Wheel \" width=\"301\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-324x324.jpg 324w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-416x416.jpg 416w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-132x132.jpg 132w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW2-2-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Specifications of the ZWO EFW 5&#215;2 inch Electronic Filter Wheel are:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Slot: 5&#215;2 inch of 50.4 unmounted<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 500 grams<\/li>\n<li>Power supply: USB 2.0<\/li>\n<li>Ascom platform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Delivery of the ZWO EFW includes:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"234\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-324x104.jpg 324w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-416x133.jpg 416w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-768x246.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-140x45.jpg 140w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-500x160.jpg 500w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-800x256.jpg 800w, https:\/\/dev4-ganymedes.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/ZWO-EFW-5x21024x3283-450x144.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Filters that are well suited for the ZWO filter wheel are, for example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ganymedes.nl\/product\/optolong-lrgb-2-inch-filter-set-4-filters\/\" rel=\"noopener\">LRGB filter set from Optolong<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZWO electronic filter wheel for 5 filters of 2 inch or 50.4 unmounted.
