Features

1.25in. Orion Luminance/IR Cutoff Telescope Filter
  • IR filter blocks ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelengths for higher contrast CCD images
  • Advanced coatings applied to the precision polished optical glass minimize in-band reflections
  • The 1.25" anodized aluminum cell threads into the nosepiece of the camera or filter wheel.
  • This an excellent luminance filter for LRGB imaging.

Designed for use with Orion monochrome imaging cameras or similar monochrome cameras, this filter efficiently blocks ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) wavelengths, which can cause blurring and glare, color abnormalities, and reduced contrast in CCD images from cameras lacking a built-in UV/IR filter. The steep cutoffs below 390nm and above 690nm and the high (typically 97% or better) transmission of visual wavelengths — including the important 656nm H-alpha line — make this an excellent luminance filter for LRGB imaging. Advanced coatings applied to the precision polished optical glass minimize in-band reflections. The 1.25" anodized aluminum cell threads into the nosepiece of the camera or filter wheel. Protective case included.

Please note this product was not designed or intended by the manufacturer for use by a child 12 years of age or younger.

1.25in. Orion Luminance/IR Cutoff Telescope Filter
Reviewer: Bill Brockman
I purchased this filter to replace the built- in IR filter on the Meade DSI II CCD camera. Using this camera with the original built-in IR filter gave me terrible results. The stars all had halo's regardless of what I did. It occured to me, this looked like an image taken without an IR filter. When I received the Orion IR filter, I removed the built-in IR disk from the DSI II and screwed on the new filter. I now get very sharp edged stars. Very good equipment. Thanks Orion.
