About this product
Model: zwo_ir_cut_2
Part Number: Z210-IRCUT2
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 and has internal threads to enable filter stacking.
The price includes a protective plastic case.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he's delighted with it. Very happy with the service from Firstlight Optics. Think I will get all his presents here from now on.

Order over Xmas hols and turned up quickly. Using in front of am old Sony A7ii.
As soon as o had the right camera settings and pointed camera in right location, got a nice shot of the Orion Nebula which I didn't even know was in view.
I was.just messing around with the Sony settings and aimed at the belt area and in the lower part of shot appeared this nice pink Nebula. Needless to say I'm happy as all I got before was a load of opaque images with some stars, thanks to the council street lighting.
Definitely recommend the filter.
