QHYCFW3-S filter wheel connection to telescope

[chouet]

Hi all

I've just purchased a QHYCFW3-S filter wheel. Connection to the QHY camera is easy via the thumbscrews. The scope side, however has six bolt holes surrounding the M42 thread, meaning it is open to light. The wheel came with an M42 to 2-inch nose piece which covers the holes, but I need to use the M42 thread. Is there an adapter or am I missing something?

Thanks!

I think those holes are where the QHY OAG bolts on. QHY do make telescope adaptors, but I haven't seen them in the dealers.

Who did you get it from? maybe drop them an email.

Thanks Dave

I found a bag of PC mounting hardware, and pan-headed hard drive screws fit perfectly 😊
