Hi again,
How did you guys close the M2.5 Holes on the OTA side of the filterwheel?
In my package they only supplied M2.5x8 screws which i suspect are used to screw the AFW against the camera.

That's where your OAG attaches. I have a QHY OAG-M attached there. The pattern lines up.
You will need more backfocus anyways, so I'd just buy a spacer kit from QHY or similar.

Not yet, I've only done there might be more popular filter wheels from established brands that have been reviewed more extensively.

Hi Andrea,
As I do not use OAG, I covered the thread holes with a ZWO darkening ring.
I added a M54 spacer on the OTA side, because I attached the camera with screws. Because I miss 1mm spacing normally done with the camera adapter that I do not need.
Note that my stainless steel M54 spacer almost cover the thread holes! If it was 1mm bigger in diameter, I could avoid adding the second darkening ring on the OTA side.

Hi Stephane,
I hadn't realised that the holes on the other side are also open. I think I will also screw the camera to the AFW and use the M54 to M42 adapter on the other side. I will probably seal the OAG holes from the inside with lens head screws. Hopefully no light will get in there. Maybew i will order these ZWO darkening rings.
