Remote RGB filter wheel.
It takes a few days to fabricate the RGB filter wheel for Jupiter ( and, of course, for other planets) shooting.
There are lots of theory on how to make great Jupiter shot. The RGB method may be the most commended one and so I ‘ll just to give it a try.
But Jupiter rotates so fast that the change of filters must be taken place very quickly. I use a ZWO manual filter wheel + ZWO LRGB filters + DIY motor + DIY remote control software to hopefully solve this problem. Field test shows that it takes only 2 seconds to change filter.
Of course everything is not yet proved. Only when Jupiter reappears do we see whether it is worth the effort or not. I am waiting.

- This is what we see on the PC mon. When click onto ”+” and “-” button the drive motor will rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise. The webcam attached onto the filter wheel will show which filter is in place. Now it’s the red filter at work.

- DIY motor driver. The little bronze spur gear attached to the motor drives the filter wheel in a fast manner. It takes only 2 seconds to change from one filter to another.

- Our RGB planetary camera. It is a ZWO 174mm + ZWO filter wheel + ZWO filters + DIY motor mechanics + DIY remote controlling software. The motor at RHS is for focusing. The motor at lower left is for filter changing.
