UV-IR Block & Luminance Filters
Astronomik Luminance filters are very popular with astrophotographers that use Cooled Monochrome Astronomy Cameras for Deep Sky Imaging. IR cut filters can be useful for those that use Uncooled Astronomy Cameras for planetary imaging. UV-IR and Luminance filters are important for digital astrophotography as blurred or bloated images of stars might be encountered when allowing transmission in the UV and IR portions of the spectrum. Blocking this unwanted light can allow for sharper, better looking stars. Learn more about the Astronomik Luminance and UV-IR filters below.
