[NOT REQUIRED] 1.25" IR/UV Cut Filter for Webcams

[Logieberra (Logan)]

As described. Will thread it onto the Philips SPC900NC webcam for planet stuff.

Thx,

Logie.

Logan, without turning this into a filter debate Thread, be aware that not all IR/UV filters are the same.

Different brands have different cut-off points.
For the Philips Toucams/900NC's I found the GSO IR/UV filter to be the worst so try avoiding those.
I found Astronomiks 'L' IR/UV filter the best.

I hope you find one suitable for you.
Just making you aware so you don't buy the 1st one that comes along thinking that they all do the same thing

Good timing! Saw that el' cheapo listed at Andrews, and was going to collect one on Saturday! Will hold out...

Thx!

I think all el-cheapo's are teh same. I have one as well although they are producing reasonable images of Jupiter i do have to process some of the issues including a significant amount of purple around the edge of Jupiter. I know it is not the scope or the Barlow as my DSLR images are free of that colouring with it's inbuilt filter.

I am looking at purchacing a better UV/IR possibly Baader to go with my lense as well.
