Detailed Description

The Astro Essentials UV/IR Cut Filter is an indispensable tool for astrophotographers aiming to achieve the highest quality images. Designed specifically to block UV and IR light, this filter addresses a common issue where most telescopes fail to focus infrared light accurately, which can result in blurred and degraded images. The human eye cannot detect these wavelengths, but modern cameras are highly sensitive to them, making the UV/IR cut filter crucial for capturing sharp, clear photographs.

Constructed from premium optical glass with dyed-in-the-mass colour, the filter ensures minimal light loss and optimal performance. It is mounted in a precision metal cell, providing durability and a secure fit within your setup. Available in both 1.25" and 2" sizes, the filter features threads on both sides, allowing for easy stacking with other filters to customise your imaging setup further.

Accompanied by a protective storage case, the filter remains safe from scratches and dust, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The inclusion of a transmission chart allows users to see the precise wavelengths the filter blocks, providing transparency and confidence in its capabilities.

Benefits

• Enhanced Image Sharpness: Prevents UV and IR light from interfering with your camera's sensor.
• Improved Control Over Star Bloat: Ensures stars in your images remain crisp and well-defined.
