Electronic Filter Wheel 2 - User’s manual

Thank you for purchasing the Atik Electronic Filter wheel 2 (EFW2) with USB. With it, you will be able to easily change lters without

touching the telescope. This is specially important when imaging, as it often happens that, when using manual wheels, autoguiders

tend to lose their guide star, due to shaking and/or backlash. With the Atik EFW2, you can change lters without disturbing autogu-

iding. Additionaly, and when using Atik Capture software or the Ascom driver, lter changing can be fully automatic, allowing for

unattended imaging sessions. Optional lter disks are available in different congurations, from 1.25” to 50.8mm, and can be easily

interchangeable by the user. Also, the optional Off-axis Guider module can be directly attached to the wheel itself.

The EFW2 was designed to be easy to use. Adding lters is very simple as well as changing the internal disks. Additionally, you can

rotate the camera to the desired position without the need for extra adapters that add to the back focus distance. The following pic-

tures provide an overview of the EFW2 components:
