    I have an STXL-11002 camera and FW8G-STXL filter wheel. I also have two OTAs with different focal lengths and I'd like to be able to match the OTA to the pixel size. Will the FW8G-STXL filter wheel work with an STT-8300M camera?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Electrically, it will work. Mechanically you'd have to find some way to link them together.

    Hi Chris,
    Ashley's parts are as good as they get, but unfortunately he doesn't list the back of the FW8G (bolt to) as an option. I exchanged emails with him a while back about a different custom part and he said, "In principle we no longer have the resources to make, or alter, parts not designed through our online Adapter Builder."
    Regardless, Thanks for the suggestion.
    Nick
