Astronomik ProPlanet 807 Clip-Filter Sony alpha 7 (SKU: 10205101 / 8h00xl)

Astronomik ProPlanet 807 Clip-Filter Sony Alpha 7 (Astronomik, SKU: 10205101) is a long-pass filter for near-infrared imaging, with a passband starting at 807 nm. In lunar and planetary photography it records wavelengths less affected by atmospheric turbulence than shorter wavelengths.

The frame may slightly obstruct the image corners; this effect can be corrected with flat frames. The manufacturer excludes compatibility with the Sigma 14 mm F1.4 DG DN Art and Sony FE 12–24 mm F2.8 GM (SEL1224GM) lenses.

Infrared photography requires the camera to be sensitive in this region; the standard built-in IR-blocking filter may prevent useful recording.
