Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion StarShoot 2” Motorized Filter Wheel. This useful astro-imaging

accessory can use four 2" lters. Through your computer, you can toggle the different lters without touching the

telescope, and automatically change the lters during an exposure sequence, saving you signicant time. With

its innovative design and compatibility with Orion lters, the Orion StarShoot Filter Wheel provides the best way

to take images with LRGB or narrowband lters.

Software and Driver Installation

Before using the lter wheel, you must install the software

and drivers, available from our website. Please do not plug

the wheel into your computer’s USB port until you have

completed the software installation.

www.telescope.com/StarshootFilterWheel

Please navigate a web browser to the above link to nd

all the relevant software and drivers. It is recommended to

download and install all les, including the ASCOM platform

Figure 3. Remove the front panel from the Filter Wheel to access the

lter carousel.

in order to use the Filter Wheel with any ASCOM compatible

software from other vendors.

1. Download and unzip the StarShoot Installation le,

saving it to a preferred directory on your computer.

2. Next open the downloaded directory and click on

the StarShootFW_Setup.exe le to open the installer

application.

3. In the installer application (gure 2), place a

check in the box for the Windows Driver and the

Quantum Controller Software. NOTE: it is HIGHLY

recommended to also install ASCOM and the

corresponding drivers/software as this allows you to

use the Filter Wheel with any ASCOM compatible

control programs from other vendors.

4. After checking all the boxes, click install and let the

application install all relevant software. Once this is

fully complete, you can plug the Filter Wheel into an

available USB port.

Filter Installation

To install your lters into the Wheel you will need to partially

disassemble the lter wheel.

1. Use the supplied hex key to unthread the ve socket-

head screws of the front (labeled) panel of the lter

wheel assembly (Figure 3).

2. Gently separate the front plate from the lter wheel

3. Locate the dots on the outer perimeter of the carousel,

as well as the sensor that reads these dots. The

starting lter (lter 0) is in position when the “double

dots” are sitting under the sensor (Figure 4). Put your

rst lter into Filter 0 position

4. Install the lters by threading them into the lter

carousel (Figure 5). When facing the lter carousel

with the front panel open, the lter position sequence

moves counter-clockwise. For example, if you are

installing luminance, red, green, and blue lters,

red would be placed to the left/ counterclockwise

of, luminance, green would be placed to the left/

counterclockwise of red, and so on.

5. Complete the installation by reattaching the front plate

of the lter wheel assembly with the socket-head

screws.

Keep in mind that use of the Filter Wheel requires 25mm

of inward focus travel. This will not be a problem for most

telescope designs.

Attaching a Camera to the Filter

Wheel

The Filter Wheel is intended for use with an astro-imag-

ing camera such as a dedicated CCD camera or DSLR.

Attaching a camera with female T-threads (Figure 6):

1. Thread the imaging camera onto the back of the Filter

Wheel.

Figure 5. Thread the lters into the lter carousel. Figure 6. Thread the camera to the T-thread adapter and Filter

Wheel. Use the rotation lock ring to lock the camera into the desired

orientation.

Figure 7. Insert the lter wheel into your telescope’s focuser and

secure it in place with the focuser thumbscrew.

2. Before the imaging camera has threaded on all the

way, use the rotation lock ring to lock the desired

camera orientation in place by turning the ring

counterclockwise back until it is tight against the

camera body.

If you are using a DSLR camera, follow the same steps with

the T-ring (specic to the make and model) attached to your

camera body.Software Installation

Attaching the Filter Wheel to a Telescope

Now that you have installed your lters and attached the

imaging camera to the lter wheel, it is time to attach the

lter wheel to your telescope.

With the nosepiece attached to the Filter Wheel, insert the

wheel into your telescope’s focuser and secure it in place

with the focuser thumbscrew (Figure 7). With the weight of

the lter wheel and camera, we advise you to double check

connection to make sure it’s rmly in place. If your focuser

has male 48mm wide t-threads, you can instead remove

the 2" nosepiece to reveal female 48mm wide t-threads for

a direct threaded connection.

Using the Filter Wheel Controller

You can use the StarShoot Filter Wheel Controller sepa-

rately from any other imaging program using the direct

Windows drivers. This is the simplest way to switch through

different lters. However, to integrate the Filter Wheel into a

full imaging setup, we recommend using the ASCOM driver,

and controlling the Filter Wheel from any 3rd party ASCOM

program that can control all aspects of the imaging setup.

To use the separate Filter Wheel Controller:

1. Plug the Filter Wheel to your computer’s USB port.

2. Run the Filter Wheel controller app.

3. Select the left or right arrow buttons in the Controller

app to change lters.

a. Note there is an ASCOM version of the Controller

app as well.

Using the Filter Wheel with ASCOM

You can use the ASCOM Controller app separately from

any other imaging program, or you may use ASCOM in any

imaging program that supports it. Some imaging programs

such as Sequence Generator Pro and SharpCap enable

you to change lters automatically after each exposure.

This is very useful when doing an exposure sequence that

can last several hours, allowing you to change lters while

you are away from the computer and telescope.

Care and Storage

Do not allow anything to touch the external motor when the

Filter Wheel is in use. Feel free to leave your lters installed

in the Wheel during storage. If excessive dew accumulates

on the surface of the lter wheel or the lters themselves,

leave the Filter Wheel open after use until it has dried. The

foam-lined box your Filter Wheel and accessories arrive in

also acts as a convenient storage container.
