The Antlia U-Venus 1.25" is a specialized ultraviolet planetary imaging filter designed for capturing cloud structures and atmospheric details on Venus and Jupiter with CCD or CMOS cameras. Using advanced dielectric interference coating technology, this filter transmits near-UV wavelengths centered around 365nm while effectively blocking contrast-damaging frequencies beyond 400nm, which would otherwise overwhelm UV cloud details on camera sensors. The filter minimizes halo artifacts around bright stars and enhances overall image contrast, making it essential for planetary astrophotographers seeking to resolve atmospheric features invisible to standard broadband filters.
