Astronomik ProPlanet IR Pass Filter

By blocking visible light and only allowing infrared wavelengths above 742 nm to pass, this filter significantly reduces the blurring effects of atmospheric turbulence. This results in much sharper, more stable detail on the Moon and planets compared to standard visible-light imaging.

No, this filter is designed for specialized use. While it works for planetary astrophotography on most cameras, using it for the nature photography application requires a camera with a modified sensor that is sensitive to infrared light.

No, you shouldn't need to. The Astronomik ProPlanet filter is parfocal with other Astronomik filters, meaning it shares the same optical thickness and focus point, allowing for seamless transitions during your imaging sessions.

The patented Clip-Filter system allows you to snap the filter directly into the camera body, sitting securely in front of the sensor. This makes installation quick and tool-free, while also acting as a protective barrier to keep dust off your sensor.

Surprisingly, no. Despite blocking the visible spectrum, the filter maintains high transmission rates, allowing you to capture planetary and lunar images with exposure times that are nearly identical to what you would use for visible light.

Yes, it is excellent for infrared landscape photography. When used with a modified DSLR, it highlights the reflectivity of chlorophyll, turning foliage bright white and creating high-contrast, dramatic black-and-white style images of clouds and trees.
