Daystar Filters Energy Rejection Filters 100/120 mm
Daystar Energy Rejection Filters reduce thermal load by blocking UV and IR while transmitting visible light. The 100/120 mm model fits refractor tubes up to 120 mm in outside diameter and enhances the performance of Daystar solar systems.

Description
Daystar Energy Rejection Filters (ERF) are engineered to reduce the amount of heat entering the optical system during solar observation. They absorb or reflect ultraviolet and infrared radiation while allowing only the useful visible wavelengths to pass. Depending on the model, the ERF may be made from red or yellow optical glass, or from dielectric-coated glass specifically designed to block IR and UV radiation.
The ERF also serves as an aperture mask, ensuring that incoming light reaches the filter at an optimal angle of incidence. Daystar filter assemblies perform best at f/30 or slower, and the ERF helps achieve this focal ratio either by reducing the effective aperture or when paired with a suitable Barlow lens.
To compute the appropriate aperture reduction, the telescope focal length is divided by 30. When a Barlow lens is used, its multiplication factor must be applied before calculation. The 100/120 mm model features a 100 mm ERF glass mounted in a front cell designed to fit refractor tubes with an external diameter of up to 120 mm.
It provides reliable thermal reduction, improved optical stability and safe, long-duration solar observing. Compatible with many refractors, it is an essential component for stable, narrowband solar configurations using Daystar filters.
