DAYSTAR ENERGY REJECTION FILTER FOR REFRACTORS

DayStar 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.

In order to find the right ERF for your system, measure (with a ruler) the outside (largest) diameter of your telescope's dew shield at the very front of the telescope and size up to the nearest available ERF diameter (ie. for SkyWatcher Esprit 80 ED, the dew shield measures 125mm so you will need the 100 mm ERF for dew shields Ø 150 mm).
