TS-Optics 2" UV and IR blocking filter - low profile filter mount

TS-Optics 2" infrared blocking filter for astrophotography - moon, planets and deep sky in a short frame.

♦ Complete infrared light blocking to increase sharpness for lunar and planetary photography

♦ Blocking of UV light

♦ Almost complete transmission of the visible light spectrum

♦ Good protection of the camera sensor from dust particles

♦ Low-profile filter holder with only 4 mm height (without filter thread)

♦ Delivered in a high quality plastic storage box



 
TS-Optics infrared cut filter
The filter blocks UV light and infrared light. The surfaces are of course finely optically polished and plane-parallel for maximum contrast. The dielectric coating makes the filter particularly durable and long-lasting. The filter can also be installed in very compact filter wheels and filter drawers. The filter holder is very short at just 4 mm high.
 
Areas of application of the TS UV-IR blocking filter:

 Lunar and planetary photography:
Telescope optics, Barlows or eyepieces are corrected for the visible spectrum, not for infrared light. However, camera sensors are also sensitive in the infrared. The result is a significant reduction in sharpness. The TS-Optics filter blocks out the infrared light and the sharpness increases.

♦ Deep sky astrophotography
A similar effect can be observed here too. The stars appear larger and a little “muddier” without the infrared blocking filter. By blocking out the IR light, the star becomes better defined and sharper.

♦ Dust protection
The filter has no visible effect in the visual range because the human eye is not sensitive to infrared. So we have already “built in” an infrared blocking filter. But the filter protects the sensitive accessories from dew and dust.
