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.
