QSI 600 Series WSG-8

The WSG-8 is designed to replace your existing camera cover entirely. It mounts directly to the camera body, creating a seamless, integrated unit rather than an external attachment.

By using an OAG, you guide through your main telescope's optics. This eliminates differential flexure—a common issue where the guide scope and main camera move slightly relative to each other—resulting in tighter, more precise star shapes during long exposures.

The wheel is designed to accommodate standard filter sizes compatible with the QSI 600 series. However, you should verify the specific thickness and diameter of your current filters to ensure they fit properly within the carousel slots.

Yes, the installation is straightforward and user-friendly. It involves removing the existing cover and securing the WSG-8 in its place, though you should ensure your workspace is clean to prevent dust from entering the sensor chamber during the swap.

Because the WSG-8 replaces the standard cover, it is engineered to be as compact as possible. While it does add some depth, it is significantly more efficient than stacking a separate filter wheel and OAG, helping you maintain the necessary backfocus for most optical systems.
