Quick question, I see this is in IR. Does this mean that you are only letting through the IR wavelengths or filtering them out?

The reason I am asking is because I want to have a go at Mars but its very bright and I am not sure if an IR cut filter (such as a UV/IR) or skyglow filter would help bring out the details? Visually I can see the polar caps but not much surface other than RED?

Thanks

Chris
Thanks Chris, I am only capturing in the IR part of the spectrum. My filter passes from 807nm and longer. I have attached the performance graph for my filter. Hope this helps.
