Hi all,
I work in a lab the specialises in hyperspectral and thermal imaging. As such I have access to a lot of NIR filters <650 nm (bandpass long pass etc).
I've tried googling but can't find much about people doing amateur astrophotography at longer wavelengths. I figure no modern streetlights have any components beyond 700 nm and not much beyond 650.
Since Ha is passed 650 and all stars put out plenty in the NIR, I figured it's a great way to avoid light pollution from in the city while maintaining a wide variety of objects to image.
Has anyone tried this?
