The Revolution Imager cameras come in 3 versions so far (as of 28th October 2016) The 3rd model is the Version 2 with the LN-300-11811 sensor. This model is often referred to as 'R2'. The V2 - 11811 (R2) camera body looks like this: The 11811 used in this model can be identified with a microscope or powerful magnifier by how the connections are made on the sensor:

just got one of these cams and have a question, should I use the UV/IR filter all the time?

Hi mike,, the purists will say yes,, lol,, but I would say try it out both ways,, it's all about personal taste.. if you want perfect images I think we could add a couple of different filters to do video imaging but for just visual video astronomy the UV will help.

Hi Mike - welcome!
You'll get nicer looking stars with the filter on, but galaxies emit quite a bit of IR (which the camera can see) so it might be worth taking it off for the faint stuff.

G'day Mike, welcome. No, you won't need the IR filter all the time, but as the others say, it makes your results cleaner. An IR cut filter or IR/UV filter sharpens stars, stops star bloat and also helps control a small amount of Violet Fringing in Achromat telescopes. Try it with and without and you'll soon discover which way you prefer on different objects
