ZWO ASI071MC Pro Filters & Filter Wheel

[Paul Smaglik]

I have a setup  of a William Optics 81 GT for the scope, I have an asiair pro, with a ASI071MC pro CCD camera.  I am looking into obtaining a filter wheel for it but I am unsure what to get.  I don't know 1.25" or a 2" filter wheel will be the best solution for me.  I also I need to know what common filters will I need to assist me in the imaging process and I would like some advice.

You won't need a filter wheel as it's a colour camera. You could just get a filter drawer instead and swap out light pollution filters, duo-narrowband, Ha, whichever takes your fancy. Filter wheels are mainly used with mono cameras where the need to gather multiple channels is necessary to create a colour image.
