Works this?<br />Or can i put a low IR Filter on the CCD Modul and a second IR Filter on the Lins of the Cam. <br /><br />So i can use a Filter 500 to 900.

(defi...My specific interest is Hydrogen alpha line <br />(defined as 656.3 nm) for astrophotography. I have a Canon Powershot A85, which seems to be the last that had fully automatic mode (settings are saved). Interesting point that amateur <br />astroonomers make such modifications, but so <br />far I have never seen a spectral scan of any <br />Powershot IR filter so the World can see if it <br />even blocks this wavelength to begin with. Much <br />above this wavelength won't matter for astrophotography because the atmosphere itself <br />is a filter. I therefore wonder if anyone has <br />done a wavelength scan, or if someone would be <br />willing to send one my way (I have equipment). <br />In this case, I would be happy to post the result.<br /><br />DominicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-8165751187181274072010-03-09T02:21:03.573+01:002010-03-09T02:21:03.573+01:00Hi!

I'm performing the same replacement for a Canon powershot A75 but am having problems with the filter dimensions. Assuming the IR cut filter dimensions are the same for both camera models, would you know the dimensions to your IR cut filter? Or maybe, would you know of any sites that might sell these IR pass filters with the dimensions that the cameras require? Thanks. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />DianDiannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-11820842538877051932010-02-13T22:12:50.155+01:002010-02-13T22:12:50.155+01:00Hi,

I've been able to get to the CCD holder in back, which looks identical to yours. It's possible the IR cut filter is the same too. It would help to get an idea of how thick a replacement I need, before I open it up and expose it to dust.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-28860805827388593922010-01-30T18:15:43.558+01:002010-01-30T18:15:43.558+01:00very interesting, is the same set-up possible for ...very interesting, is the same set-up possible for UV only pics?TPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-87358302361016310742009-10-31T13:58:53.656+01:002009-10-31T13:58:53.656+01:00Simon, please feel free to post your questions as ...Simon, please feel free to post your questions as comments here, this way anyone else stopping by will benefit from them :-)Zarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218438138014617879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-90035475172825537222009-10-31T13:56:51.730+01:002009-10-31T13:56:51.730+01:00Hello 路人癸,

I'm not even sure if there was any glue involved, it may have just been held by the rubber gasket as seen <a href="http://www.thustra.com/A70mod/IMG_4572ps.jpg" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />Regarding cutting of the P007 filter, I believe the instructions at the following web site are pretty good: <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/S55112SF90525KQ/" rel="nofollow">http://www.instructables.com/id/S55112SF90525KQ/</a>Zarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218438138014617879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682616217554171262.post-53008648748873654382009-10-25T11:01:45.304+01:002009-10-25T11:01:45.304+01:00Hello,

I am following your instructions to attempt the same thing on my A80, which has the same construction save for the flippable LCD screen. I am now stuck at the last step; how did you remove the IR blocking filter from its seat? The glue is so hard I ended up chipping the filter itself. I wanted to use a glue gun to melt the glue but the gun head was too large. Maybe I should try heating up my screw driver?<br /><br />Also, I have bought a Cokin P007 filter, which has a plastic ring around it. What is the best way to dismantle the Cokin filter and cut the IR passing filter to size? I heard that cutting the filter might cause it to shatter, and I want to make sure I don't flush my $70 down the drain.路人癸https://www.blogger.com/profile/11990553067445506928noreply@blogger.com
