Lumicon 1.25" UV/Infrared Filter

The 1.25" Infrared Blocking Filter is designed by Lumicon and intended to "bracket" the color-corrected band of refracting telescopes. Use the Infrared Blocking Filter as a visible filter as well when astro-imaging with reflecting telescopes. 

Most digital/CCD cameras have built-in infrared filters, in which case the Infrared filter may be used. The Infrared filter blocks wavelengths shorter than about 400 nm. If your camera does not have a built-in infrared filter, the Infrared Blocking Filter is recommended, which blocks all wavelengths longer than 750 nm. This filter is specifically designed as an IR blocking filter.

Emily ★★★★★

The filter threads onto my eyepiece smoothly and really cleans up the false color on bright stars in my refractor. I noticed a much sharper, more natural view of Jupiter last night without that annoying purple halo. It’s a simple accessory but it makes a real difference.

Brian ★★★★★

Switched from my trusty old UV filter and the difference in lunar contrast is striking—no more purple fringing around the crater rims. The threading is smooth too, fits snugly on my 1.25" diagonal without any wobble.

Sofia ★★★★★

Finally got crisp, color-free views of Jupiter through my small refractor with this filter threaded on. The difference is immediate, and it cleans up the blue halos I was struggling with.
