IR Pass 685nm filter is designed to block wavelengths below 670nm and can be used in IR-LRGB imaging to produce a sharper luminance image for the best planetary contrast as atmospheric seeing and distortion is much reduced at longer IR wavelengths.
IR Pass685 Introduction
Optolong IR Pass 685nm filter is designed to block wavelengths below 670nm and can be used in IR-LRGB imaging to produce a sharper luminance image for the best planetary contrast as atmospheric seeing and distortion is much reduced at longer IR wavelengths.
The sensor of CCD or CMOS cameras is capable of detecting light in the 350-1100nm range including infrared wavelengths. Thus RGB planetary images taken with IR as the luminance channel have visible-enhanced contrast and surface detail than standard LRGB images.
WARNING
The filters of Optolong are not designed for sun observation. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITH OPTOLONG FILTER. You would be BLIND if you fail to observe the warning.

COATING TECHNOLOGY
Multi-layers anti-reflection coating
Non-cementing optical substrate coating
Optolong L-Pro filter adopts precision coating based on Ion-assisted deposition coating technology for durability and resistance to scratching, as well as stability on CWL(central wavelength) no deviation affected by temperature change.
Planetary rotation system offers precision and homogeneity of coatings ensuring high value on transmission of pass-band and Optical density of off-band.
