  1. I’ve been enjoying your articles. Lots of good information here. We have linked you in our website Stickies.
    Here is a useful hint for those cameras which are not able to do a good in-camera white balance in IR. Obtain a piece of white PTFE (Teflon) and make a raw photograph of it. Then use the photo to set and save a white balance preset in your favorite converter/editor by “white-clicking” on the PTFE in the raw photograph.

  2. I am unsure what nm I need. I am solely going to use it on weddings but I like some small colour so will I get this at 720nm or do I need to go lower to 690nm

  3. I am interested in using the IR filters for Astrophotography. I know the Ha filter works with visible light and hydrogen alpha pass filter. I just want to photograph the stars with the other IR filters, like the IR Chrome filter on a full spectrum camera. The skies during the day is a deep dark blue using the IR Chrome. At night, the skies and atmosphere are not admitting IR light up above. Only stars have light and IR light. If properly focused, and correct camera settings, you should see an IR image of the stars in Live View cameras.
    Any astronomers out there that has tried this please let me know or if anyone knows how to do this please submit your comment here. Thanks.
