Product Info
Manufacturer Description
Baader Planetarium has introduced the world's finest UV/IR cut filter. This filter is a must for all digital imaging with Digital Cameras, CCD Cameras, and modified WebCams. Also useful for protecting valuable H-Alpha filters from heat stress and damaging IR (Daystar, etc). Due to their extremely high optical quality, these filters may be stacked and used far in front of the focal plane (necessary for imaging uses). Like the Baader Planetarium Contrast-Booster, the UV-IR-Cut filter uses the very latest coating technology, to deliver the finest filtration quality - and lifetime durability.
Features:
- Unmatched 98% Average Transmission! Freedom from ghost images (very low reflection multi-coating, Striae-free, and plane-parallel substrate).
- Extremely Sharp Cutoff at 690nm (leaves all the visible red, including the important 656nm H-alpha emission line).
- Sharp cutoff below 400nm. Eliminates violet halos around bright stars (more effectively than simpler so-called Minus Violet photographic filters).
- True optical quality glass substrate and coatings. Why spend all your money on quality primary optics - only to place a lower grade filter optic in the path?
- Combine with any of the other Baader filters, to deliver the sharpest images possible.
Agena Note: Please note that this filter does not feature a female thread. Hence, you cannot stack additional 1.25" filters on to this item.

Mar 15, 2016An excellent Filter for use with Daystar Quark H-Alpha
Pros:Accurate,Compact,Easy to Use,Quality Lenses,Lightweight,Strong Construction
Cons: Comments:I purchased this filter as an energy rejection filter ahead of my Daysar Quark Chromosphere H-alpha filter for Solar visual. It works without affecting image. It is a high quality filter.

Aug 3, 2013Great filter for Starshoot Autoguider
Pros:Easy to Use,Quality Lenses,Strong Construction,Accurate,Compact
Cons: Comments:I use this filter on the business end of my Orion Starshoot Autoguider. This is an imaging camera, similar to a webcam, that is made to fit in a standard sized eyepiece holder. However, when using on brighter stars, the spectrum diffraction can be problematic. Using an UR/IR cut filter, one is only looking at the visible spectrum and the diffraction is a non-issue. This allows higher camera gain and more efficient electronic noise reduction settings. The resultant star images are closer to pin-point sized, which makes them much better suited to autoguiding a telescope mount. When not using the filter on my guide camera, I use it on a short focal length eyepiece in a 90mm refractor. Using this filter allows me to get more magnification on this tube without the resulting haze that I would normally get. Colors taken in daytime (birding) are also much sharper and contrast is higher. Blues (sky) are more vivid as well. A nice product, a very reasonable price, and seems to be built to last. Well done.

Mar 22, 2013Baader UVIR Filter
Pros:Strong Construction,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:I have this filter in the 2" size and decided to get the smaller 1-1/4" size also.
Bottom Line: Would you recommend this item? No
I use it on my solar wedge but it also seems to improve planetary viewing on my refractor telescope.This review was provided courtesy of AgenaAstro.com
Mar 13, 2012Good filter for guidecam. Worked great.
Pros:Quality Lenses,Lightweight,Compact,Strong Construction,Easy to Use
Cons: Comments:Could not stack with a GSO adjustable polarization filter due to neither item having female threads. I'm not sure if that would be a useful feature, since most webcams have adjustable gain. I just happened to have an old one with no gain control at the time. The filter is very good at blocking IR/UV and is instantly noticeable when attached to webcam. The background goes from pink/purple to black.

Dec 3, 2011Essential Renowned Baader Quality Filter
Pros:Strong Construction,Accurate,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:If your looking for an immediate defined difference when attaching a filter, the Baader UV-IR filter is it. This filter dramatically cuts ghosting and glare! In combination with the Baader Moon & Skyglow filter the detail and contrast is breathtaking. Most assuradly worth the purchase.

May 29, 2011I understand doing a good job
Pros:Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:I bought in Jan. I was in a very windy and high turbulance area in Istanbul. The first shots I used on the planet which is Saturn by webcam.(filter and without filter) I understand doind a good job. Usind the M.C.model telescope, using the barlow and recommend to all persons engaged in shooting.

Jan 18, 2010Another top quality Baader product
Pros:Good value,Strong Construction,Accurate,Quality Lenses
Cons: Comments:As with all Baader filters, this one is very well built. Top precision machining, and fine quality glass is used. The spectral response of the filter is also great for cutting light from outside the visual band. A must for webcams adapted for astronomy use.
