DEAR LIST,

            I recall a recent conversation about IR film and black skies.  A
few years ago someone also asked me to find the filters I used for IR.  I
finally uncovered them.  They are:

 

1)    Harrison and Harrison RD-10 (a.k.a. 88A) through which you can see a
tiny bit of daylight.  The directions say, "I.R. filter absorbs visual below
710 mu).  

2)    Kodak Wratten 87C gel filter.  Even if I look out as the sun lit
tropical sky it is OPAQUE!  To see the transmission spectrum of the 87C
click http://www.beyondvisible.com/BV3-filter.html  and scroll down past the
UV filters to the IR filters.  

 

CHEERS!

            BOB
