Martin,
I’m still trying to get a definitive answer on whether the 60D-2 IR cut protective window which is described in the 2600MC specifications is fact UV/ IR cut
I’ve sent a post on the ZWO forum a few days ago and received only one reply from a member who obviously doesn’t have this camera as they just looked up the specs in ZWO. They attached a link to the ZWO site under filters which shows the D60 UV IR cut filter suitable for the 2600MC and a few other cameras
This is a 60mm diameter x 2mm thick filter accessory for the camera which I assume is screwed into the image train somewhere or in a filter wheel ? It certainly doesn’t fit inside the camera nor on the outside as the outside screws dust cap is M42
See attached photos of my 2600MC pulled apart showing main body of camera with sensor and main cover protective window which is rectangular

The protective window on the 2600MC may very well be UV IR cut , but have not seen any written evidence from ZWO to say it is ( maybe someone has but I haven’t come across it )

One observation is the description on the camera specs say D60-2 IR cut and the filter accessory says D60 UV IR Cut , obviously different

Hopefully ZWO will see my post and reply soon ..... but I won’t hold my breath

Cheers
Martin
