System Accessories
A variety of accessories that are available for your Hyperion System are described below.
• Our Color Filter Wheel’s robust mechanical design provides the basis for uncompromised images. Each FLI color
lter wheel is precision engineered with a highly accurate, no-slip drive chain driven and stepper motor. The large
diameter pivot pin and bushing are precision ground and matched for smooth, quiet no-fuss operation night after
night. FLI color lter wheels use no internal lights for homing to protect your images from stray light interference.
• High Speed Filter Wheels use high-performance servo motors featuring rare earth magnets coupled with backlash-
free power transfer to provide ultimate torque which translates to ultimate speed. Filter exchange rates under 30
milliseconds are possible.
• Digital focusers are designed for CCD astronomy where the digital imaging system is mounted very close to correct
focus. The thin designs allow focusing with short-travel optical designs. All of our focusers are ASCOM compliant.
Additional information about the Focuser is available in a separate document, “Focuser User’s Guide” that is
supplied with this product.
• FLI stocks a large variety of adapters for the most popular telescopes. We will design custom adapters to meet your
imaging needs free of charge when ordering an imaging system.
• FLI Research Grade lters are high transmission lters manufactured in the United States with the highest quality
fabrication techniques available. FLI offers a full line of lter types and sizes. Choose from LRGB, Ha, SII, OIII and
UBVRI.
• Threaded shutter cover available for all Hyperion cameras.
Liquid Cooling Information
As a standard, all FLI cameras incorporate a TEC (Peltier) that enables the camera to cool the
sensor. The actual cooling for any given camera will depend on the sensor size and ambient
temperatures. The Hyperion Liquid Cooler can accept a ow rates up to 0.5 gallon/minute (1.91 liter/
min). Please contact FLI with your custom cooling requirements for either air, liquid, or un-cooled
system. Please see Appendix G for all available Hyperion liquid cooling congurations.

Cooler inlet pressure is 50 psig.
Ensure tubing selected has the
proper pressure rating. To avoid
undesired pressure build up in
