Astronomik ProPlanet 642 IR-Pass Filter - 1.25"

The ProPlanet 642 BP is the most recent addition to Astronomik's ProPlanet IR-pass filter family. This filter offers a wide assortment of applications for daytime IR photography, high resolution imaging of the Moon and planets, and capturing gorgeous deep sky images of objects in H-alpha regions when used for astro-imaging.

This filter provides a 200 nm spectral window from 642 nm to 842 nm. Unlike Astronomik's other two ProPlanet filters, the P642-1 blocks the longer infrared. Along with the ProPlanet 742 and 807 filters, Astronomik now gives you three choices for your IR-imaging needs. The ProPlanet 642 will frequently be the correct choice for optimal imaging.

Please note, image depicts the 742 filter, not the 642.

  • Ideally suited for infrared videos

High Resolution Lunar & Planetary Imaging:

  • Short exposure times
  • Efficient seeing reduction

  • Incredible contrast in moonlight or light polluted conditions
  • Reasonably priced filter for amateur H-alpha imagers
