Clip-Filter system for Canon EOS APS-C cameras

Do you own a Canon EOS digital camera for astro-imaging? Then you have surely encountered the following problems:

Large filters for large camera lens objectives are very expensive
If you are using an Off-Axis Guider stars will be dimmed on your autoguiding camera when a 2" round mounted filter is threaded to a corrector being ahead of the reflecting prism from the light path.
For very fast (low f/ number) telescopes like the Vixen R200SS or the Takahashi “Epsilon” astrograph, a filter drawer or a filter wheel cannot be used since the distance to the corrector lenses would be changed.
With long exposure times your camera’s sensor chip is exposed to more dust

With the Astronomik Clip-Filter System you can take care of all of these problems at once!

The patented Astronomik Clip-Filter System is black anodized aluminum and laser-cut on state-of-the-art modern machines. It can be inserted within seconds directly into the EOS camera body. There are no changes necessary and all lens functions (focus, screen, image stabilization) remain functional!

Almost all Canon system lenses (with the exception of the genuine EF-S series lenses), all lenses (known to us) from third party manufacturers and all M42 and T2 lens adapters, can be used with the Astronomik Clip-Filter System. The Clip-Filter System also acts as an outstanding dust shield, which prevents the possibility of dust settling on the sensor during long time exposure (The MC-Clear filter does not have a filter effect and only acts as a dust shield.)

Description

Astronomik CLS CCD Clip-Filter EOS APS-C (For Full Spectrum Modified Cameras)

The Astronomik CLS CCD is suitable under light-polluted skies for DSLR Cameras which have been modified for Full Spectrum sensitivity. The filter enhances the contrast between all deep-sky objects and the background.

The CLS-CCD Filter enhances the contrast between astronomical objects and the background. Due to the wider transmission curve compared to UHC filters, a greater amount of light will pass the filter. Stars will be less dimmed. This filter has been optimized to block as much spurious light as possible and simultaneously provide the best performance for 'useful' light. A good filter for DSLR-, CCD- and film b/w-photography as well as observation of deep-sky-objects with telescopes or photo lenses of all aperture f/2 and above.

Main use

The filter blocks completely emission lines of artificial light sources like streetlights (e.g. sodium- and mercury-vapor) as well as the airglow. All 'important' emission lines as well as the spectral range of the night-adapted eye are being passed. The supplementary IR-blocking layer allows the use for DSLR- and Webcams without an integrated IR-block filter.

Other uses

Easier resolution of Double Stars.
With the EOS-Clip model, photography with DSLR cameras is feasible even unter extreme light-polluting conditions without shifting the white balance.
The 1,25" and 2" socket models can be used for observations from light-polluted areas.
If you plan to create color images from emission line data, our CLS-CCD filter is a great choice for the Luminance channel

Reviews

Cuts all the light from street lights and moon. When everyone else has to wait I’m shooting right next to the moon . Love this item . This seller is highly reputable.

Best Decision I ever made

The conversation time was a little lengthy but I guess it’s because of the great work they do. I’m gettin some of the most spectacular lights I’ve ever gotten. Gasses come through while the filter does a great job of blocking light pollution. I will be sending all my future business and recommendations to AstroGear!! Top notch work!!!!

Exactly what I wanted
