Catalog description

Baader Planetarium IR-Pass Telescope Filter, part number AAS013, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $59.00, down from a high of $99.00.

Baader Planetarium delivers the latest tool in the planetary imager's bag of tricks. The Baader IR-Pass filter blocks wavelengths below 670 nm. At these longer wavelengths planetary images are less disturbed by wavefront distortions in the atmosphere (seeing). By combining a luminance image taken with the IR-Pass filter along with RGB frames overall image sharpness is significantly enhanced. Some of the world's best amateur planetary images have been taken with this technique.

The IR-Pass filter shares the same outstanding features as all the other Baader filters. High optical quality Striae-free substrate and high efficiency multicoatings result in the sharpest and highest contrast image possible.
