About this product
Model: zwo_ir_cut_125
Part Number: ZWO-IRCUT1.25
The ZWO 1.25″ IR UV CUT filter is suitable for colour cameras with an AR protection window.
The ZWO IR-Cut Filter blocks infrared light from reaching the sensor of your CCD or CMOS camera or your expensive H-alpha filter. When imaging, adding this simple and inexpensive accessory will result in sharper images. The IR Cut Filter will protect your H-alpha filter from the damaging effects of infrared radiation.
Infrared or IR light is invisible to the human eye, so even though most telescopes are not designed to focus IR light, it does not matter when you use your telescope for visual astronomy. However, unlike the human eye, a camera sensor is sensitive to light in the infrared portion of the spectrum, which harms image sharpness. This ZWO IR Cut-Off filter solves the problem by blocking infrared light.
The ZWO IR-Cut filter is available in a 1.25” or 2" cell.
The price includes a protective plastic case.

I bought this filter for my zwo asi294mc pro as the 2 inch was out of stock. I fitted it with the attachment that came with my 294MC pro and dfit tight up to the lens, I still get a bit of vignetting in the corners as the sensor is bigger but this can be calibrated out with flats. It makes my final processed image much more sharp and contrasted, so we'll worth the money and does all the more expensive ones do.

Appears to work well when used for imaging planets. However, I wanted to stack with a UHC filter for deep sky imaging and the internal thread mentioned in the description for this purpose wasn't present on the 1.25" version I got as a package with a ZWO camera.

Looks great. But when fitted to my ZWO 224mc it will not fit into my Celestron 1.25" light back. It's just .5mm too wide. Perplexed by this.
Response:
We've never come across this issue before - it sounds like something is 'off' with either the filter machining or your visual back. Please get in touch and we can swap the filter and try another.
