The Astronomik ProPlanet 807 filter is an ideal addition to the Astronomik ProPlanet 742 filter for imaging the moon and planets, especially Mars, with telescopes of 10" (250mm) aperture and larger when the seeing conditions are poor. The Astronomik ProPlanet 807 filter only allows infrared (IR) light with wavelengths longer than 807nm to pass through, significantly reducing the effects of seeing compared to the visible spectrum. This results in much sharper images than typically expected from your equipment and location. Another advantage is that it effectively darkens the sky background during advanced dawn, enabling the photography of planets and the moon even in daylight conditions.
Other uses
- It enables imaging of young stars in dust clouds and stellar nurseries.
Alternatives
If the seeing is not too bad or if your telescope has an aperture smaller than 10" (250mm), we recommend using the Astronomik ProPlanet 742 filter.
Suitability of the Astronomik ProPlanet 807 filters
- Visual observation: Unsuitable, the eye is insensitive to this spectral region
- CMOS and CCD photography: Reasonable for special IR-photography, such as imaging chlorophyll or star-forming regions
- DSLR photography (original): Unsuitable
- DSLR photography (astro-modified): Unsuitable
- DSLR photography (MC-modified): Good, for IR daylight photography, but longer exposure times
- Webcam and video (planets): Very good, effectively rejects seeing problems, particularly with telescopes larger than 10" (250mm) aperture
The Astronomik OWB (Original White Balance) Type 3 filter
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-Filters 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!

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.
