Dave,

You could use a Optec, Homeyer, or SBIG filter wheel with your camera;
unfortunately PictorView wont control it so you would have to operate it
manually. If you want to be able to control the filter wheel and camera from
the same software, you could use our MaxIm DL/CCD product which can make Meade
cameras and non-Meade filter wheels work together.

Some web sites for various filter wheels:
