Visual and Photographical Use
There are many applications that require you to change between filters regularly. The usual way is to remove the camera or eyepiece from the telescope, unscrew the filter, screw in another filter, put everything back in the telescope and focus again. This procedure is annoyingly bothersome and takes a lot of time. The TS Optics Filter Quick Changer allows you to switch between filters within a few seconds without having to refocus after the filter chang.
Examples of Use:
- Astro Imaging: LRGB colour imaging, narrowband colour imaging, use of different contrast filters and nebula filters
- Planet Observing: Ideal for using colour filters. The quick change between the filters allows you to directly compare the effect of different filters and thus choose the ideal filter for the particular application.
- Deep Sky Observing: You can directly compare the impressions with UHC filters, O-III filters and other filters. This allows you to get the most detail out of each object!
Advantages of the Filter Quick Changer in comparison with other systems:
- There is no limit to the number of different filters you can use.
- Very low profile
- This also results in best possible field illumination
- The filter quick changer needs less space than e.g. a filter wheel
- The filters currently not in use can be stored protected from dew and dust. In classical filter drawers the filters are completely unprotected!
