Description

Energy Rejection Filters reduce the heat load on your filter assembly by absorbing or reflecting UV and/or I light and transmitting light in the desired visual spectrum. These filters are sometimes Red or Yellow glass, or dielectric IR and UV, but pass light in the desired visual spectrum.  The ERF can also serve as an aperture mask to accomplish a straight angle of incidence for light entering the filter.

DayStar filter assemblies operate best at f/30 and slower. Creating f/30 configuration can be done easily with the proper ERF and/or barlow as listed below.

Higher resolution, larger aperture configurations use a barlow.

In order to compute the proper aperture reduction mask, divide your telescope EFL or Focal Length by 30.  To compute the proper aperture using a barlow, use the adjusted EFL which includes multiplication by your barlow.

Ellie B. ★★★★★

The heat reduction was immediately noticeable when I swapped these in—my filter assembly stayed cool enough to touch after a full hour of viewing. Nice to have a product designed with the whole system in mind, not just the glass.

Grace ★★★★★

Even with the sun blazing all afternoon, my telescope’s mount stayed cool enough to touch—a huge relief since I was worried about overheating. The filter’s simple design snapped right into place without any fuss. I’ve been using it for a week now and the heat reduction is exactly what I needed for s

Owen L. ★★★★★

The filter absorbs so much heat that my solar setup stays cool to the touch even in direct sun—definitely worth the careful selection process.
