DayStar UV/IR Filter

Block UV & IR Light – Sharper Images, Safer Optics

Protect your optics and capture sharper images

The DayStar UV/IR Filter blocks harmful UV and IR wavelengths, ensuring high-contrast astrophotography and solar imaging while preventing heat damage to your telescope’s optics. It allows the full visible spectrum to pass, maintaining true color accuracy with enhanced contrast and detail.

Features

• Blocks UV & IR for Sharper Images: Eliminates unwanted wavelengths for crisp, high-contrast astrophotography and solar observation.
• Prevents IR Heat Buildup: Protects filters and diagonals from heat damage, preserving delicate coatings and extending equipment life.
• Ultra-High Transmission (>99%): Maximizes image brightness and contrast while maintaining natural color accuracy.
• Optimized for Focal Ratio's between f/0.5 to f/50: Delivers clear, high-contrast images across all telescope configurations.
• Ideal for Monochrome & LRGB Imaging: Eliminates UV/IR contamination for accurate color blending and luminance imaging.
• Reduces Optical Distortions: Prevents chromatic aberration, star bloating, and contrast loss for sharper details.

Why Choose the DayStar UV/IR Filter?

Unfiltered UV and IR light can degrade your imaging setup. It causes soft, blurry stars, low contrast, and inaccurate colors, making astrophotography frustrating.

Worse, infrared radiation generates heat, which can damage optics, warp coatings, and shorten equipment lifespan. The DayStar UV/IR Filter blocks these unwanted wavelengths, preserving visible light for sharp, color-accurate imaging.

Unlike generic filters, it is optimized for focal ratios from f/0.5 to f/50, ensuring high-contrast images across all telescope configurations.

If you’ve experienced overexposed solar images, bloated stars, or IR heat damage, this filter is the solution.
