- Brings astro-modified cameras back to natural color reproduction and enables normal white balance settings, including AWB.
- Allows a modified camera to be used for both astrophotography and everyday photography, eliminating the need for a dedicated second camera.
- Diffraction-limited, finely polished glass with durable coatings ensures no loss of sharpness, contrast, or long-term performance.
Astronomik OWB Type 3 XT Clip-Filter EOS R XL
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. Please note: This is an EOS R XL clip filter designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras and will not fit Canon DSLR bodies.
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 full-frame DSLR cameras
Astronomik Clip-Filters for Canon EOS full-frame DSLR cameras provide a fast, flexible, and cost-effective solution for astrophotography. Designed to mount securely inside the camera body, they eliminate the need for large front-mounted filters while maintaining full compatibility with both lenses and telescopes—delivering a lightweight, streamlined imaging setup.
- Quick, tool-free installation – swap filters even in the dark
- Full lens functionality preserved – autofocus, aperture, and image stabilization remain unaffected
- Cost-effective solution – no need for large, expensive front-mounted filters
- No focus limitations – avoids infinity focus issues caused by external filter holders
- Optimized for fast optics – ideal for low f-ratio telescopes where filter wheels aren’t practical
- Sensor protection – helps reduce dust buildup during long exposures
- Secure internal fit – stable mounting without stressing the optical glass
With Astronomik Clip-Filters, you get maximum performance and convenience—making it easier than ever to capture stunning deep-sky images!
Technical Specifications
- Compatibility:
-
- EOS R
- EOS RP
- EOS Ra
- EOS R5 / R6 (and similar RF-mount bodies)
-
- 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
Note from Astronomik:
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.
