Overview
The Player One Phoenix is an electronic filter wheel for mono imaging. It holds a full set of filters, usually LRGB plus hydrogen-alpha, OIII and SII, and changes between them from your capture software without touching the telescope.
Every version is 21 mm thick and made from 6061 aluminium. A Hall sensor reads a magnet on the filter carousel to find each position, which is more repeatable than the light-gate holes many wheels use, and a thin stepper motor moves it quietly and smoothly. It connects with a single USB-C cable, which can run from the USB hub on Player One’s cooled cameras.
Which size
Match the filter size to your sensor, not your telescope.

Check the thickness of 2″ mounted filters before ordering: some deep cells don’t fit. Player One publishes a drawing of the allowed sizes.
