CFW-9 Five-Position Filter Wheel Seen here attached to an ST camera body.
The CFW-9 makes it possible to automatically take color images with LRGB filters.
Add an H-alpha filter for emission nebula, or perform photometric measurements with UBVRI
filters. Add an extra carousel and do both by switching entire filter sets.
The CFW-9 is available with or without filters. The CFW-9 gets its power and control
commands from the camera and is designed to match the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 body style in size
and shape.

CFW10 Ten-Position Filter Wheel
Also seen here attached to an ST camera for comparison. The CFW10 allows you to
carry a large array of filters in one filter wheel without having to change
carousels. LRGB+Clear filters for color imaging can be installed along with several
narrow band filters such as H-alpha, O[III] and S[II], or a complete color plus
photometric set. The CFW10 adds only 0.56" of backfocus to SBIG cameras and can
be used with camera lens adapters. A stand-alone model, controlled via a computer's
serial port, is available for other cameras. More info...

LRGBC, UBVRI and Narrowband Filters
Red, Green, Blue, plus Clear and Luminance filters for color imaging are available in
several varieties. Our standard set suppresses light pollution while giving an
excellent balance for all ST cameras. Astrodon filters are parfocal with other
Astrodon narrowband filters and offer 1:1:1 exposure ratios. H-alpha, O[III] and
S[II] filters are available for narrow band imaging of emission nebula. UBVRI
filters are available for photometric studies. More

AO-8 Adaptive Optics
Get the last bit of resolution from your system. The AO-8 uses the built-in tracking
CCD of an ST-7/8/9/10/2000 dual sensor camera to monitor the jitter of a guide star and
make appropriate tilt-tip corrections to the image at up to 10Hz using a moveable diagonal
mirror. Local and low order atmospheric effects, telescope vibration and drive error
are reduced or eliminated resulting in a sharper image.

SGS Self-Guiding Spectrograph
The SGS utilizes the guiding CCD in the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 cameras to hold the object
being measured on the narrow entrance slit for an extended period of time. The full
bandwidth is displayed on an ST-7 sized CCD. For convenience, other self-guiding ST
series cameras can also be used although there is no benefit to using a larger camera than
the ST-7XME. Dispersion with the high resolution grating is approximately 1 Angstrom
per pixel at 9u. More info...
Part # SGS |

|
DSS-7 Deep Space Spectrograph
The DSS-7 is a lower cost alternative to the SGS. The DSS-7 is actually more
sensitive than the SGS making it excellent for Deep Space objects. It does not
self-guide and it has slightly lower resolution than the SGS. It is optimized for
popular Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes but can be used on any system with an F/10 focal
ratio. It is ideal for deep space objects such as galaxies and nebula.

CFW8A to AO-7
Adapter Plate
This adapter provides a solid direct connection of the AO-7 Adaptive Optics Device to
the CFW8A filter wheel when the filter wheel is also hard mounted to the camera.
The entire train of Camera-CFW-AO becomes one unit. Previously the AO-7 had to be
attached using a male-to-male thread adapter that screwed into the CFW8A and AO-7, but
could also add flexure or unwanted rotation if the parts became loose for any reason.

Water Pump and
Tubing (110VAC)
This 110VAC (only) submersible water pump may be used with any ST-7/8/9/10/2000 camera
equipped with the water circulation heat exchanger. Most models have this feature,
except for some of the "I" models where it is an option. Water circulation
results in a greater cooling delta from ambient and is desirable in areas where it stays
very warm at night. Part # MS-ECP ONLY |

|
Water Pump and Tubing (12VDC)
This 12VDC
submersible water pump was added as an accessory for the larger STL series
cameras. However, if you are operating an ST-7/8/9/10/2000 camera in
the field or any place where there is no convenient 110VAC supply, then it
may be adapted for use with an ST series camera by using two pieces of step
down tubing from the camera to the smaller tubing supplied with the 12VDC
pump. A 110VAC adapter (below) can be added for dual use.
Part # MS-WATER STL |

|
110VAC to 12VDC power supply for 12V

available. It is the same power supply that we use with the ST-402ME camera.
Part # 51686 |

|
90-240VAC Universal Power Supply
The universal power supply provides the required 5VDC and 12VDC to the camera from
typical line voltages found around the world. It has an on/off switch and green LED
showing power is on to the camera. A separate cord is available with regional plug
for N. America and Europe / Asia. This is the supply that is included with all
current models of ST-7/8/9/10/2000 cameras. It is compatible with all all past
models as well. Part # MS-PWR ST |

|
12VDC Power Supply
This optional power supply converts 12VDC from a battery to the 5VDC and 12VDC
required by the camera. It is for operating your ST-7/8/9/10/2000 camera from a
battery in the field, or anywhere there is no convenient AC power.
Part # 50388 |

|
Power Supply Extension
Cable
This cable extends the cord from the power "brick" to the camera by
approximately 8 feet (~2.44m). The standard cable that comes with the power supply
is about 6 feet (~1.83m) long so this heavy-duty extension cable brings the total length
to about 14 feet (~4.27m). It is custom
made with heavy gauge conductor for minimum voltage loss. The wire bundle is
contained in a braided shell for added flexibility.

Camera Lens
Adapter
This adapter mates the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 cameras with popular 35mm camera lenses for
wide field imaging. Adapters are available for Canon FD, or
Nikon. Note: Canon FD lenses are manual only. The CLA-7 cannot be used with a
filter wheel, but it can be used with the male-to-male t-thread adapter in place of the
threaded barrel to hold a 1.25" filter behind the camera lens. This can be
useful for taking wide field H-alpha images, for example.
Part # CLA-7 |

|
Relay Adapter
The relay adapter box converts the ST-7/8/9/10/2000 electronic relays to mechanical
relays. Most commercially available mounts such as those from Software Bisque, AP,
Meade and Celestron do not require mechanical relays, but others, such as the classic
Losmandy G-11 do require some other form of electrical isolation between the camera and
the mount. If you are not sure, check with your mount manufacturer. A special camera to adapter box cable (not shown)
is provides the 12VDC needed to operate the relays.
