Astronomik ProPlanet 807 Clip-Filter

This filter blocks all visible light and only allows infrared light with wavelengths longer than 807 nm to reach your sensor. By cutting out the visible spectrum, it significantly reduces the effects of atmospheric turbulence, resulting in much sharper, more stable images of the moon and planets.

Yes, because the filter is a clip-in design that sits inside the camera body, it works with both standard camera lenses and telescopes. However, please note that it is specifically designed for the Pentax K-1 camera body.

The ProPlanet 807 is primarily optimized for planetary and lunar imaging where high contrast and sharpness are needed to cut through atmospheric distortion. It is not intended for deep-sky objects like nebulae or galaxies, which emit light across different spectrums.

No, the clip-in design is meant to be inserted directly into the camera body without any permanent modifications. It is a non-destructive way to add infrared capabilities to your existing setup.

Standard filters often allow visible light, which is more susceptible to atmospheric 'seeing' conditions that blur fine details. By isolating the infrared spectrum, this filter stabilizes the image, allowing you to capture finer surface details on the moon and planets that would otherwise be lost to atmospheric haze.
