The Astronomik OWB (Original White Balance) Type 3 filter is not a traditional astronomical filter. Instead, it is designed to enable modified DSLR, CCD and CMOS cameras, which have had their inbuilt color correction or infrared (IR) filter removed or replaced, to be used for regular photography. This filter allows a modified DSLR to be used for both astrophotography and everyday photography, eliminating the need to dedicate a camera solely to astronomical tasks.
DSLR cameras are modified for astronomical use by removing or substituting the inbuilt color correction filter with one that has a greater transmission of H-alpha light. When doing this, they lose their white balance capability for regular photography. The Astronomik OWB Type 3 filter restores the spectral sensitivity of the modified DSLR to its original range, making the camera functional for everyday photography again. Essentially, the Astronomik OWB Type 3 filter mimics the conventional built-in filter of the camera.
The Astronomik OWB Type 3 filter allows the modified camera to work with its pre-set white balance settings, including the automatic white balance (AWB), which is not possible with modified DSLRs without this filter.
Suitability of the Astronomik OWB Type 3 filters
- DSLR photography (astro-modified): Very good, restores standard white balance for regular photography
- DSLR photography (Full Spectrum modified): Very good, restores standard white balance for regular photography
Clip-Filter for Canon EOS APS-C DSLR cameras
Since 2007, we offer our extremely popular Astronomik Clip-Filters. The complete range of Astronomik filters is available as Clip-Filters for the Canon EOS DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors.
The Astronomik Clip-Filters offer a number of practical advantages that make them an ideal choice for astrophotographers:
- Installing and removing the Astronomik Clip-Filter is very quick and easy and requires no extra tools or modifications to the camera body. They can be changed at any time, even at night.
- All lens functions, such as focus, aperture, and image stabilization remain fully functional.
- The Astronomik Clip-Filters are held securely in place without stressing the high-quality glass.
- The Astronomik Clip-Filters are designed and optimized for use with both standard camera lenses and telescopes.
Through the Astronomik Clip-Filters, we were able to solve several common issues faced by astrophotographers:
- Large filters for large camera lenses are very expensive.
- Using a filter holder between the camera body and the lens prevents focusing to infinity.
- For very fast telescopes (low f-number) like the Vixen R200SS or the Takahashi "Epsilon" astrograph, a filter drawer or filter wheel cannot be used because the distance to the corrector lenses would be changed.
- Long exposure times lead to dust settling on the camera's sensor chip.
The Astronomik EOS APS-C Clip-Filters are made from black anodized aluminum.
Additionally, all Astronomik EOS APS-C Clip-Filters serve as an excellent dust shield, protecting the sensor during long exposures. If you only need a dust shield without filtering effects, the Astronomik MC-Clear EOS APS-C Clip-Filter is the right choice.
Use Astronomik filters for your Canon EOS APS-C DSLR camera and enjoy marvelous images with an ultra light equipment!

Technical Data
- Glass thickness: 0.5mm
- Finely polished optical glass, free of any striae, residual stresses, and bubbles
- Extremely scratch-resistant and durable coating
- Completely resistant against high humidity and aging effects
- Parfocal with other Astronomik filters
- Diffraction-limited
- Optimized spectral windows
- Delivered in a high-quality, long-lasting filter box
Due to the high-precision machining of the carrier substrate, all Astronomik filters are parfocal with wedge errors far below all common tolerances. Astronomik filters are diffraction-limited, ensuring that the optical performance (resolution and contrast) of your telescope is not compromised. Issues concerning focal distances and the exact alignment of images from each color channel are therefore effectively eliminated.
All Astronomik filters are ideal for modern cameras, including both CMOS- and CCD-based models, ensuring you capture the best possible images with your equipment. Sharpness, contrast, and the absence of any reflections and halos are guaranteed. Even with bright stars in the field of view, nebulae and galaxies will be captured with the finest structures. The Astronomik MFR coating is designed for optimal performance across a wide range of focal ratios of the optics used.
Every Astronomik filter undergoes a rigorous quality control process before delivery.
