IR 850nm Pass Filter – 1.25″

Product Description

ZWO 1.25″ IR 850nm Pass Filter suitable for IR sensitive cameras. You don’t need to debayer and get the full resolution of this sensor when use it with a Color camera such like ASI224MC or ASI185MC. Because the QE responce of sensor beyond 850nm is all the same. So you can use a color camera as mono camera with this filter, just don’t forget to keep the WB_R and WB_B to 50 (no White Balance applied).

To see the unseen: ASI290MM+850nm IR filter + 2.1mm lens.

Thickness: 1.9-2mm

Transmission properties

The transmission properties of the IR 850nm Pass Filter are optimized for CCD astrophotography.

Sindre – January 24, 2020:

If I buy the ZWO ASI290MC (color) camera, Can I use this filter with it to only show the IR spectrum ? Would I need any adapters or will they work together ?

  It will allow the light over 850nm to pass.
  You will need a T2-1.25″ filter adapter.

Hi Sam, I’m asking the parfocal question because I was hoping to complete my ZWO manual filter wheel, which already has a ZWO LRGB set, with the IR 850nm Pass Filter, in order to take IR-Pass and LRGB pictures without having to change focus.
Regards,

NV

hello, any feedback how to connect 1,25 filter with 2,1 lens? I unscrew lens from the T2 To CS or C adapter but there is no way to connect lens directly with the filter. thanks

  Sorry about the wrong message.:(
  I reconfirm the connection method with my colleague, the 850nm filter should be dispached from the screw and the replace the protective glass with the 850nm filter,
  carefully cover the camera cover and then connect the 2.1mm lens.

thank you Sean for your answer,
I read this in the “Product Description” :
“ZWO 1.25″ IR 850nm Pass Filter suitable for IR sensitive cameras. You don’t need to debayer and get the full resolution of this sensor when use it with a Color camera such like ASI224MC or ASI185MC. Because the QE responce of sensor beyond 850nm is all the same. So you can use a color camera as mono camera with this filter”
the behavior of the ASI 120 MC is therefore different from the 224 and 185 ?
thank you in advance for your opinion,

- Sean Wang – May 3, 2018:
  
  protective window of 120 is IR-cut window. That’s the reason.

would this filter improve the camera perfomance for planetary imaging?
would this filter make the camera work as a monochromatic one for deep sky?
thank you

  Sorry, only monochromatic camera is suitable work with IR 850 filter.

Sunny – December 28, 2017:

Hi, I was wondering if this IR 850nm Pass Filter will fit for the ASI183MM (mono) camera. I am interested in monitoring IR lasers with that camera, but it seems like the IR 850nm pass filter is the only IR pass filter available for purchase.

Thank You,
~Sunny

  yes, you can use this filter with 183MM
  but I am not sure IR laser pass 850nm light or not

Hi Sam,

You say “ZWO 1.25″ IR 850nm Pass Filter suitable for IR sensitive cameras. You don’t need to debayer and get the full resolution of this sensor when use it with a Color camera such like ASI224MC”. I have a asi224mc and like to know how this works”. I use FireCapture to capture. I assume I have to leave the option ‘debayer’ unmarked so I capture in raw-mode. For aligning and stacking I use Autostackert. You say that when using this IR-pass filter I don’t have to debayer. Does that mean I have to chose the option ‘grayscale’ under the color-menu?
Is this the way to go?
Hope to hear from you.

- Sam Wen – October 9, 2017:
  
  yes, you are correct
  you can treat the color sensor as mono one

Thanassis – September 15, 2017:

Hello,
Does the filter has any transmission below 400nm? Is it possible to have the full transmission spectrum of the filter, from 350nm for instance till 1000nm?

0

0
- Sean Wang – September 19, 2017:
  
  It does not have such transmission curve, we don’t for sure that 400nm is blocked. if you have very specifical request, I think need to buy a badder or Astromik IR filter.

Hi Sam,
So if with this filter the Asi224 acts like a mono camera, can we add another Red filter to “freeze” the atmospheric turbulence like doining with normal mono camera?

  850nm filter is already Red filter

Hi !
Can I use this filter with my ASI120MMs ? It seems this model’s QE is pretty low at 850-1000nm
Many thanks.

0
- Sam Wen – December 27, 2016:
  
  all model’s QE is not very high at 850-1000nm
  so you can use it but need longer exposure
  or you can use it at daytime

Sam, I’m using my 185MC for autoguiding as well. Will this filter improve or decrease the camera’s star sensitivity? How about the UV IR cut filter?

  This filter is IR pass, you should not use it for guiding
  no filter needed for guiding

Steve – March 22, 2016:

In your description of the IR 850nm Pass Filter you state “you can use a color camera as mono camera with this filter”. Does that mean that I could combine this filer with the with the LRGB filers and use it just like an other mono camera? It seems like this would give the user the best of both worlds. Also does your filter wheel allow the use of two filers at once?
Thank you
Steve

- Sam Wen – March 24, 2016:
  
  this is because the QE responce of this color cam after 850nm is equal like mono camera
  that’s why we can use it as mono cam with this filter
