Astronomik ProPlanet IR-Pass Filter

The Astronomik ProPlanet 742nm filter blocks visible light and only allows infrared wavelengths to pass through. This significantly reduces the blurring effects of atmospheric turbulence, resulting in much sharper, more stable images of planets like Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Yes, this filter is most effective when used with telescopes that have an aperture of 6 inches or larger. Smaller telescopes may not gather enough light in the infrared spectrum to produce a high-quality, usable image.

Absolutely. Because the filter blocks visible light and passes infrared, it creates a 'Wood effect' where chlorophyll-rich foliage appears bright white against a very dark, high-contrast sky. It is a great tool for creative landscape and nature photography.

This is a clip-filter designed specifically for Canon EOS R full-frame cameras. Note that for the best results in infrared photography, your camera should ideally be a full-spectrum or modified DSLR, as standard cameras have internal filters that block much of the infrared light this filter is designed to capture.

By blocking visible light, the filter effectively darkens the sky background during twilight. This helps increase the contrast of the moon or planets against the sky, allowing you to capture clearer details even when the sun is just below the horizon.
