This camera also has a filter wheel attached
SBIG CFW10 10-Position Filter Wheel
I believe there are 5 filters = L, R, G, B, and NIR because the empty filter boxes were in with the camera.

In less than 1 hour, I found and installed all of this software below and got the camera and filter wheel working. I burned all software to a disk I include with the camera.
