Celestron Skyris IR-Block Filter - 95516

95516 Skyris IR-Block Filter by Celestron

Color CCD cameras such as the Skyris color planetary cameras are very sensitive across the visual spectrum, as well as in infrared. Some telescopes may correct for chromatic aberration, but are not designed to correct for IR light, which can often look defocused in astroimages. Blocking infrared (IR) light provides the greatest color balance and sharpness in your astroimages. This filter blocks IR while passing more than 94% of the entire visual spectrum, maintaining color fidelity.

• High-quality, fully multi-coated optical glass with dichroic coatings to block infrared (IR) light
• Provides the best color balance and sharpness
• Totally removable, providing ultimate flexibility--no need to purchase a camera with built-in IR-block
• Compatible with Skyris color cameras and The Imaging Source astronomy cameras
