ST237 filters

This ST-237 sure is refined compared with that blasted Toucam. What is a good CHEAP filter wheel assembly that does the job? I dont mind flicking between filters with a thumbwheel. I don't know squat about what threads are on the ST-237, what models of what screw onto it, etc. What works or doesn't work because this is not a ST-237A. Basically, I know nothing. Looking for any guidance. Thanks!

Hi Mike,
The Orion 5 position wheel (Atik) is quite good at under $150. Of course that is without filters, with them I think it is $250.

I second Floyd's comment about the Orion filter wheel (I wish it had at least 6 places, but oh well). I have one and it works excellently.
