Hi everyone,
I was thinking about the following idea: The near-IR region, say between 750 and 900nm is something, which to my knowledge is not used often if at all in astrophotography (or am I wrong - please correct me!).
The new QHY5III715C camera has a high sensitivity in this range once the IR cut-off filter is removed. With its very small pixels, one could use it in connection with an IR filter transparent for e.g.800 or 900nm and up to see something, which might be not there or not very visible in the "normal" spectral range.
How does this idea sound to you - stupid, senseless worth to try it? Or have one of you done it already - would be interesting for me to hear from you and what your findings were!
Cheers and CS
