The location of the filters are excellent. The filters stop where they are supposed. The mechanical build quality is excellent. I purchased the seven position wheel which make it possible to have L, R, G, B, Ha, OIII and SII at the same time and not have to change filters as often. The software comes on a DVD. I have an old computer with CD only. Had to copy files to a USB memory stick, which worked well. Some confusion about what to install from DVD. I installed everything and filter wheel worked. No information about the included software. However, there was a menu in the popup window that opens so you did not have to look around on the DVD.

Now, every imaging session can be as productive as possible with the Nautilus Motorized 4 x 2" Filter Wheel. Not only does it ensure automatic and trouble free filter transitions for your monochrome imaging setup, but it saves preciousimaging time.
To easily transition filters for tri-color, RGB or LRGB imaging, just load up to four filters into the Nautilus 4x2" and use your imaging software to change filters automatically. Let your PC do the work while you grabthe separate exposures you need through each filter.
Versatile threading and adapters provide several attachment methods, including T-threads for focusers with camera adapters, a removable 2" nosepiece to allow maximum field illumination to the camera, and a removable T-thread adapter for camera attachment.
The Nautilus Motorized filter wheels are powered by the USB connection, needing no other cable or power. ASCOM compatible, Windows XP, 7, and Vista 64bit compatible. Consuming a mere 1" of focus travel, the Nautilus 4x2" is ideal for use with a monochrome CCD camera.
Filters are easily changed by removing four screws with the provided hex key. Convenience and time-saving are just the beginning. The Nautilus helps empower your CCD imaging while also setting a new low price standard.
