Astronomik MC-Clear Filter Clip-Filter EOS R XL

Clip-Filters for mirrorless Canon Full-Format Cameras EOS R and RP

These Clip-Filters can be installed with your fingers only. Mounting and removing the Clip-Filter is quick and easy. It can be done at any time. No modifiations to the body are necessary to use the Clip-Filters.*

Compatible Canon EOS Bodies

Note: These Clip filters are NOT compatible with this lens: Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS MACRO

If you are new to astrophotography and looking for your first filter: We do recommend getting the Astronomik CLS!
The CLS gives you maximum contrast due to it effective surpression of artifical light pollution, but still gives you neutral and well balanced colors. With the Astronomik CLS you can do very deep images of amazing quality even form a urben/suburban observing site!
For the advanced Astrophotographer we do offer a wide selection of filters: Perfect accessories for all kinds of astrophotography. To compile a usefull selection of filters for your obeserving goals we would be happy to give you advise, either via phone or eMail.

The full range of Astronomik filters is available as Clip-Filters for EOS R and EOS RP bodies now.

* You might want to modify your camera to get a maximum sensetivity at H-alpha and SII for Astrophotography. But this has nothing to do with the Clip-Filters! You may use the Clip-Filters without any modifications to the body. (But some filters like H-alpha and SII-CCD might not make sense with an unmodified camera.)

Please note that Canons Astro-Version "Ra" of the R-body shows strong halos around brighter stars! (Even without any filter) We highly recommend NOT to get a Ra!

Mounting the Astronomik EOS R Clip-Filter:

Mounting the Astronomik EOS R Clip Filter is very easy: You don't need any tools and filters may be changed even at night without any problems.
Remove the lens and take the Clip Filter from it? box. Slide the Clip-Filter into the body and press it in with two fingers, until it rests flush. Re-install the lens. -Your camera is ready for imaging!

Removing the Astronomik EOS R Clip-Filter:

Removing the Astronomik EOS R Clip-Filter is very simple too: Pull the filter out with the supplied tool, get the filter with two fingers and put it into it´s storage box. -Done within seconds and the camera is working as before.

This Multicoated (MC) glass serves as dust protector or to keep your system parfocal with other Astronomik filters.

This filter should be used if the focal plane of your imaging system should stay in the same place as with other Astronomik filters in place. The multicoating prevents you from unwanted reflections. It blocks neither IR nor UV.

The second main application is dust protection of your system (telescope or camera). As the filter doesnt modify the spectral transmittance of your system it doesnt alter the colors. Its great for keeping all dust away from your optics or sensor.

Lots of Astronomik MC Clear filters in custom diameters are sold to camera manufacturers worldwide. They like the great coating and scratch resistance!

Main use

The Astronomik MC Clear is made by the same high-end process as all other Astronomik filters. The coating has the same scratch resistance and the substrate has the same high quality. Because of this it is parfocal with all other Astronomik filters and can be used in any optical system for dust protection without modifying the spectral characteristics and without destroying the optical performance of your system.

Other uses

• As a dust protection of Schmidt-Cassegrain, Schmidt-Newton or Maksutov system or as a dust protection in front of DSLR camera.
• As an alternative instead of the UV-IR-Blocker if your system has no refracting elements.

Alternatives

You should think about using the IR-blocker or even the UV-IR blocker if you have a system with any refracting elements.

Suitability

• Visual observation (dark skies): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• Visual observation (urban skies): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• Film photography: Reasonable, for dust protection only
• CCD photography: Good, to compensate the optical thickness (parfocal with other Astronomik filters); dust protection
• DSLR photography (original): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• DSLR photography (astro modified): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• DSLR photography (MC modified): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• Webcam / Video (Planets): Reasonable, for dust protection only
• Webcam / Video (Deep Sky): Reasonable, for dust protection only

Technical Data

• Parfocal with other Astronomik filters
• Glass thickness: 1mm
• Completely resistant against high humidity, scratches and aging effects
• Diffraction limited, the filter will not reduce the optical performance of your telescope!
• Astronomik filters are delivered in a high-quality, long lasting, filter box
• Since 2008 we do ship filters with a completely new design. Any kind of halo or strange reflection is a matter of past
