hi guys i just ordered the new imaging source DBK21 camera with the 618 chip. This is the colour version. I was told that i needed to put a IR cut off filter in it to take photos of planets. Which IR Cut off filter shall i buy and where can i buy it?

Im so looking forward to imaging jupiter for the first time!!!

Officially, it's called an IR/UV cut. Just the Baader 1.25" from Andrews/Bintel/Myastroshop is all you'll need. Where did you order the cam from Mark? I've been told they haven't even started on the production run yet...I'm confused lol.

Ok. I've been checking their site regularly & not a sign of any new 618 chipped cams. I guess I'll have to drop them an email.

Thanks Mark.
