Visit Player One 1.25" UV/IR-CUT Filter is a must-have accessory for astrophotographers using color cameras. Made from a high-quality optical glass substrate and featuring an advanced multicoating, it ensures excellent transmission of visible light while effectively blocking unwanted ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Thanks to its high optical quality, this filter helps improve the sharpness, contrast, and color accuracy of your astronomical images.
Modern color cameras used in astrophotography—particularly high-sensitivity models—detect not only visible light but also a significant portion of the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum.
Without a suitable filter, this stray radiation can disrupt color balance and reduce the overall image quality. The Player One UV/IR-CUT filter eliminates these unwanted wavelengths to produce colors that are more natural and true to life.
It is particularly recommended for imaging:
When capturing solar images using filters designed for solar observation, residual infrared radiation can degrade image quality by reducing contrast and the sharpness of details.
Adding a UV/IR-CUT filter improves the definition of the observed structures and produces cleaner, higher-contrast images.
That is why the UV/IR-CUT filter is considered one of the most widely used accessories in astrophotography, for both planetary and solar photography.
The filter uses carefully selected optical glass combined with a composite multilayer coating, resulting in:
With a transmittance of over 95 % in the visible spectrum, it maximizes the brightness of your images while eliminating unwanted radiation.
The filter is mounted in a 1.25″ threaded cell made of precision-machined aluminum. Its compact design makes it easy to integrate into most optical systems used in planetary or solar astrophotography.
Its mechanical design ensures simple, reliable mounting and compatibility with filter wheels, planetary cameras, Barlow lenses, and standard 1.25-inch accessories.
