Daytime IR cut filter to compensate for astromoding?
in Discussions - Cameras
Posted
Hi everyone, I astromoded my Canon 70D a couple years ago and let's just say that my wife, who shares the camera with me (okay, it is technically HER camera), has never been very pleased since then 😅 For those of you who do daytime terrestrial photography in addition to astrophotography, I'm guessing it must be common to also have an IR cut filter that can be screwed on the lens as needed?
For Xmas, I was thinking of getting my wife one so she can finally feel comfortable using our DSLR for daytime photography. I see there are a number of options out there: https://www.bhphotov...ilters/ci/16886 ... so I'm wondering if anyone can offer recommendations? In particular, I don't want a filter that will overcompensate and also block visible red wavelengths, if the filter roll off isn't steep enough ...
Most of our are lenses have a 58 mm diameter, though our best lens is 77 mm.
What do you all use or recommend?
Thanks in advance 🙏
