IR Cut filters
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

Re: Pelican Nebula and M33
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.

I keep the case on a flat moving dolly I got from Lowes or Home Depot. The dolly was left over after a couple of moves. To lift the case in and out of the car I used some retired lengths of climbing

Thanks a lot Chris for your quick answer.
For some reasons, procedure #2 does not work.
I am checking whether I can find the userid/ password delivered with the AP1600 to log

Re: large alignment error with polemaster & mach2
Hi Robert,
