Planetary Imaging FAQ - updated September 2024 - Cloudy Nights
Feb 14, 2022 · Most planetary cameras do not come with an IR-Cut filter as standard, and the Sony chips used in planetary cameras are very sensitive to IR which can spoil the colour balance & reduce the potential resolution of your image. IR-Cut filters usually screw into the nosepiece of the camera or barlow.
This is why you should use UV/ir cut with full spectrum
Mar 12, 2016 · a) "Prior to taking the picture, you should focus with a IR-pass (VIS Block) filter, then remove the filter and take the picture -- this will effectively reduce IR star bloat for the stars that emit lots of light in the IR range, with minimal star-bloating effect on the rest of …
How to Choose a Light Pollution Filter for Astrophotography
Nov 10, 2017 · Without an IR-Cut filter in front of the sensor, you may have trouble producing accurate, focused stars with your refractor telescope (bloated stars). An external UV/IR cut filter is required when imaging with a full spectrum modified DSLR and an ED refractor.
Full Spectrum vs H-Alpha conversion: pros/cons and filters
Mar 10, 2021 · You can not use a full spectrum mod with refractive optics, without using a UV/IR cut filter, thereby turning it into a Ha mod. The only scopes you can use a full spectrum camera and no UV/IR cut filter are a slow Newt (to avoid using a coma corrector) or an RC.
Astrophotography III - Infrared Conversions, IR ... - Life Pixel
The easiest way to get started photographing nebula (with a full spectrum modified camera) is to add an IR blocking filter. If you’re familiar with IR photography, you know that color and IR light focus at different positions on the film plane. This effect is seen in astro photos as “star bloat”. Since the stars also emit IR, they will ...
Light Pollution Filters for Astrophotography - Peter Zelinka
Aug 5, 2019 · Many astrophotographers have special filters that allow them to only capture very precise wavelengths, like H-Alpha. These “narrowband filters” are great for astrophotography, especially in light polluted areas! You can capture NASA quality photos, even in the middle of a …
Choosing the Right Astrophotography Filters for Amazing Images
Feb 24, 2023 · Astrophotography filters are tools for capturing stunning images of the night sky. Discover different types of filters and how they enhance your astrophotography
9 Best Camera Filters in 2024 (Most Useful Filter Effects)
Mar 13, 2024 · Infrared photography is a niche all its own. And you can’t shoot infrared photography without an infrared filter. We recommend the Hoya R-72 Infrared Filter if you want to try it out. An infrared filter gives you intense dream-like images by only allowing light from the light spectrum’s red section.
Testing the Canon R5 for Astrophotography – The Amazing Sky
Jun 23, 2022 · The Canon R5 proved to be surprisingly low in noise, and has worked very well for nightscape, lunar and deep-sky photography (as shown below), where its high resolution does produce a noticeable improvement to image detail, with minimal penalty from higher noise.
Light pollution filter shootout (IDAS-LPS D1 vs P3 vs D3)
Jun 14, 2021 · As well as blocking light pollution, they inevitably block some of the light from deep sky objects that we actually want to record. The aim is for a LPS filter to block far more of the “bad” light than the “good”, thereby improving your image’s signal-to-noise ratio.
