AFW-L 7x2 Zoll

C'est la 2ème fois que je suis déçu par Touptek.
Après les déboire avec StellaVita qui ne tient pas la route face à Asiair ou StellarMate, c'est au tour de la roue à filtres 7x2" AFW.
Aucune notice de montage mécanique à l'intérieur ni sur leur site. Il y a des tas de vis et de rondelles dont on ne sait pas à quoi elles servent.
Trop c'est trop et autant j'étais satisfait avec leurs caméras, autant je suis déçu du reste.

Excellent AFW, quality item and for me 100% reliable. Bought it together with a 585M Pro and the complete LRGB/SHO filter set - a fantastic deal. Many all-night sessions using NINA had no issues whatsoever and resulted in very good imaging results with all filters.

Solid design but not without flaws. If you are not gonna bolt a camera or oag then you need to cover the holes because of annoying light leak. Price is welcoming compare to rivals.

I bought this FW in combination with the Touptek SkyEye62AM. Shipping to Sweden was without any issues, just as stated by Touptek. After only 4 days the package was delivered to my home.
The AFW is working as expected, with a very easy, but fully adjustable ASCOM interface. Powered over USB, I only need a short cable from the camera hub to the FW, very practical and clean setup. Still, there is one serious issue, and it is for people (such as myself) that plan to use this FW with Baader filters (and potentially others?). The 2 inch mounted Baader filters are too big for the current filter wheel construction. As the wheel tries to rotate the filters collide with the holder of the photo sensor (I think thats what it is) and blocks the wheel from rotation. I did manage to do some smaller mechanical adjustments of the blocking holder, and after that the Baader filters can be used in the FW, but doing these adjustments most probably ruins the warranty. So, if you plan to use filters other that Toupteks own, be ready for some DIY work.

It does what a filterwheel should, very nice quality, well machined and well priced.
Excellent product
