Jupiter with and without Baader UV IR cut filter
All right, I just came in from a really crap seeing session, very high cloud, but the seeing was steady. So the images you will see are not sharp but they do give some indication of how the filter works. I must say though conditions did change within 3 minutes and I would need to try this again to confirm results. Both shots are taken with colour optimised mode installed.
The first one is without the filter and the tranperancy was a little better. You can if you look hard enough see the white ovals in the STB at the top.
In the second shot the colour is better with the filter and the ovals are still present albeit the image is not as sharp. This is partly because of the cloud and I had to refocus the image very quickly, so I might not have got it spot on or at least the same as the first shot.
Anyway I leave it to your decision as to which you prefer.
