Optolong Filters Planetary Filter Set 1.25" (75326)

The Optolong Planetary Filters Kit is designed specifically for planetary photography, including five essential filters: UV/IR Cut, Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), and IR685. These filters are particularly effective when used with monochromatic cameras, allowing photographers to capture different wavelengths and enhance the details of planetary surfaces and atmospheres.

In planetary imaging, filters such as IR and UV are commonly used to isolate specific parts of the light spectrum. The IR filter, for example, helps reduce the negative effects of atmospheric turbulence, as longer wavelengths are less affected by seeing conditions. For visible light imaging, the traditional RGB filters are used. The IR685 filter is especially useful for imaging Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Neptune, while the UV/IR Cut, R, G, and B filters are ideal for Saturn and Jupiter.
