Filter Masks

Beginning September 1, 2023, QHY will provide Filter Masks free as standard accessories for the QHYCFW3-M, QHYCFW3-L and QHYCFW3-XL filter wheels to replace the small round fixers previously provided to hold unmounted filters in the carousel. These filter masks make installation easier and, more importantly, they help eliminate stray light from passing around unmounted 50mm filters in the carousel filter slots.

Users who bought QHY filter wheels before September 1 can buy the filter masks separately if needed.
