Can you recommend a good UV/IR cut filter for planetary?

I'm looking for a high quality UV/IR cut filter for planetary use with a ASI224MC Pro. Any recommendations?

I looked at the Baader neodymium, but it seems to have an odd cut in the middle of the visible range from 560-620nm which would knock out any yellow and orange (which seems a pity)

Have you considered the filter from ZWO? I use that with my ASI224mc

Why not buy the ZWO IR-cut filter, which costs about £20?  It's purpose is to block the IR (to which the camera is quite sensitive) to prevent colours looking off.  If you try the camera in daylignt with the fisheye lens supplied you will soon see what I mean...
