IR Cut filters
Robert Chozick <rchozick@...>
They say the sensor on the ZWO ASI2600 has an IR Cut filter. I took it to mean it is just IR and not UV also so I use the IR-UV filter. I would like to know if anyone knows if an IR Cut filter is all you need with a refractor or if you also need the UV part. My understanding is that you only need these filters with a refractor but if you use a catadioptric scope with a field flattener or tele-compressor that the glass elements of those additions also require it. I would love to not use the extra filter. My FSQ definitely needs a filter for bright stars.

Does anyone know the story here? Robert On Aug 2, 2020, at 6:24 PM, Andrew Arai <andrewarai@...> wrote: Robert, I have been thinking about getting a ZWO ASI2600. Do you actually need a UV.IR filter to add potential reflections? I thought the glass cover for the camera provides UV/IR protection. Andrew Robert Chozick |
