Subject: Wanted: IR blocking filter
Hello to all; sorry about this "slightly" off
topic, but we are looking for a good quality IR blocking filter (preferably
1-1/4" standard eyepiece threaded) to use with our Mars Patrol for this
summer....we have misplaced one that was used on another project or I would
have thought ahead on this....
Need quickly and would appreciate any responses on available
ones OR where to get one post haste....thanks!

Hopefully our conditions will improve before the current
