FW8S-STT
The SBIG FW8S-STT is the standard (non-guided) 8-position filter wheel for STT series cameras. This filter wheel does not have a built-in self-guiding CCD. It is compatible with Canon EOS and Nikon lens adapters. The carousel holds eight 36mm filters and inserts are available for 1.25″ filters. Full sets of 36mm filters for unvignetted imaging at any f/ratio.
The unique feature of the STT filter wheel is a positive centering mechanism that precisely re-positions and firmly holds filters in exactly the same position over the CCD every time, regardless of a loss of power or intervening movement of the filter wheel.
In our tests, using an STT-8300, the re-positioning of the filters was accurate to better than 5.4 microns after several complete rotations of the filter carousel. This degree of precision means that flat fields taken after the filter has moved and returned are accurate to a single pixel.
