Where do you get a UV filer? I just looked at OPT and they only have UV/IR cut filters.

Thanks Milton,
I should have included some details. All taken at approx f/15 with
Grasshopper Express and AstroIIDC. The Venus shot with UV filter. I
tried with an Omega Optics IR filter that passed between 850 and 950
nm but could see no cloud details at all.
Seeing was only so so and Saturn is very low even from Toronto, a
little over 20 degrees at best. Venus was better at over 30 degrees
before sunset.
