Baader UV & IR Pass filters?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #733 of 2071 |

Hi, I noticed that Baader is offering a couple of new interesting
filters. The first is a Venus filter (UV) and the other is an IR
Pass filter. The UV is especially interesting because it passes UV
while blocking everything else including IR (something a 403 filter
doesn't do). Experiments with terrestrial digital imaging has shown
using an IR pass filter (1000nm and 900nm) "cuts" through haze and
poor seeing conditions. I suspect as Baader says, the IR Pass may be
very good for planetary imaging where seeing is always an issue.

Has anyone here used either the Baader Venus (UV) or IR Pass filter
where they can comment on them?

Regards,
Richard

No, but have looked at them with the same interest you have. There are actually a couple others of interest as well that I saw on the AVA site at...

IMHO one should not chase IR-pass filters to improve on lunar/planetary resolution. The wavelength is twice that of yellow, consequently the diffraction limit...

Thier other new filter that looks interesting is the solar contiuum filter that enhances granulation and solar detail. Might be neat for WL filtered images...

Hi Samir, The diffraction limit can be overcome by increasing aperture, unlike atmospheric seeing and chromatic refraction limitations. From where I observe...

Are you using a webcam? Only way to go these days, IMHO. At the last close approach of Mars I took a Hubble pic and simulated the diffraction-limited...

Hi Samir, Oh yes, I am definitely talking webcams - The fast frame rates make them difficult to beat for planets and rcent modification advances like raw mode...

Just a note on the physical appearance of the Baader UV and IR pass filters. I received my new Baader 1-1/4" UV (Venus) and IR pass filters today. The filters...

Hi Kevin, While just a subjective test on filters and the new Meade DSI I conducted an experiment were the results may find interest here. The DSI is a $300...
