Baader Planetarium delivers the latest tool in the planetary imager's bag of tricks. The Baader 2" 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 multi-coatings result in the sharpest and highest contrast image possible.

Ellie G. ★★★★★

Swapped this in before my last lunar session and the 670nm cutoff really cleaned up the seeing. The threads are machined perfectly, no tilt issues with my imaging train. Focus shift is noticeable but manageable, and the detail in the high-contrast zones came through sharper than I've managed before.

Avery ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the IR-pass filter’s effect on Jupiter detail, but it really cuts through the atmospheric blur. The 670 nm cutoff sharpened cloud bands noticeably in my 8-inch SCT. Definitely a keeper for planetary imaging sessions.

Riley N. ★★★★★

Just used this for my first lunar imaging session and the boost in contrast was immediately obvious—my raw frames looked cleaner than ever. The difference in detail on the terminator region was striking, even though I was shooting through average seeing. Glad I finally tried an IR-pass approach.
