OGMA Universal Filter Drawer (UFD) for Off-axis Guider (OAG)
The OGMA Universal Filter Drawer (UFD) for OAG will help you insert filters in the imaging train of various astronomy equipment.
The main advantage of the OGMA UFD design over more traditional filter drawers is seen when using an Off-axis Guider (OAG) in your imaging train.
Of course, if you don't use an OAG, you can connect the OGMA UFD to the imaging train using a large thread at the center and use it like a more traditional filter drawer.

Highlights
When using an OAG, it's crucial to position the OAG's prism exactly above the camera sensor. Traditional filter drawers often pose a challenge in predicting the final prism position of an OAG because they are connected to the imaging train using a large thread at the center. While tightening the tread, it is hard to know the final position of the prism.
This OGMA UFD can be connected using screws that are precisely placed to make sure that the prism of the OAG will fall at the required angle, consistently—no more guessing where the prism will be after tightening the threads.
Compatibility
This is a preliminary list:
- All cooled OGMA cameras
- Most cooled cameras from Touptek
- Most cooled ZWO cameras featuring six M2.5 screw holes distributed around a 62mm circumference on the front face around the sensor
- Some Player One cameras
We will continue expanding this list.

We include a thread adapter/extender that adds 1mm of back focus and adapts the tread from M54 (F) to M48 (F).
