    They are not mechanically compatible, at least not without making some kind of custom adapter.

    We can still build an STT wheel, it's just that we're out of the STT "standard covers" (we do still have guided covers). The Aluma cover will fit on the STT wheel, but there's an extra hole in it. If you don't mind covering that hole with something then that is an option - we could make you one.

    Doug,

    That would be great...I have had an ad on Astromart for months and just can’t get a filter wheel for my camera.

    Doug,

    I think I have a standard cover for a STT8300 that came with my other STT8300 camera with a FW8S-8300 filter wheel. I am at a meeting right now and will respond later tonight if I have the cover.
