Astronomik MC-Clear filter
The Astronomik MC-(multicoated) Clear filter serves dual purposes: as a dust protector or to maintain the optical depth of your imaging system.
Dust protection: The robust coating ensures scratch resistance and durability, making the Astronomik MC-Clear filter the perfect choice for protecting your optics or sensors (e.g. Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, Schmidt-Newton telescopes, Maksutov systems, and DSLR cameras) from dust particles and airborne contaminants without affecting the sensitivity of the camera or the eye, altering colors or destroying the optical performance of your system.
Parfocality: The Astronomik MC-Clear glass is manufactured to the same high standards as other Astronomik filters, ensuring it is parfocal with other Astronomik filters. This means it can be used interchangeably with other filters without affecting the focus.
The filter is multicoated to prevent unwanted reflections and does not block infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) light.
Astronomik MC-Clear filter are highly regarded by camera manufacturers worldwide for their superior coating and scratch resistance, available in various custom diameters.
Other uses
It is an alternative to the Astronomik IR-Block or UV-IR Block (L-1, L-2, L-3) filters for photography in systems without refracting optical elements, e.g. Newton telescopes.
Alternatives
Use the Astronomik IR-Block or UV-IR Block (L-1, L-2, L-3) filters for photography in systems with refracting optical elements.
Suitability of the Astronomik MC-Clear filters
- Visual observation: For dust protection only

Astronomik filters are diffraction-limited, ensuring that the optical performance (resolution and contrast) of your telescope is not compromised. Thanks to the high-precision machining of the glas substrate, all Astronomik filters are parfocal. The wedge errors are far below all common tolerances. Therefore, all issues concerning focal distances and the exact alignment of images from each color channel are 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 and MaxFR coatings are 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.

When using very short focal length lenses to take widefield images, standard Clip-Filters could introduce aberrations, stretching stars in the outermost corners of the image. To solve this issue, the new Astronomik XT-Filters are coated on an extremely thin substrate of only 0.3mm or 0,5mm thickness, significantly reducing these aberrations. Despite the reduced thickness, the Astronomik XT-Filters maintain the highest optical quality. They are manufactured using the same durable coating technology as all Astronomik filters.

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. Additionally, each Astronomik Narrowband-Emissionline filter is measured using a high-end PerkinElmer Spectrophotometer to ensure it meets the specifications published on our website. On the back of each Narrowband-Emissionline filter box, you will find a label detailing the precise spectral data for that specific filter, including the maximum transmission and the recommended range of focal ratios.
Astronomik MC-Clear SC Rear Cell (2" / 24TPI)
The Astronomik MC-(multicoated) Clear filter serves dual purposes: as a dust protector or to maintain the optical depth of your imaging system. Dust protection: The robust coating ensures scratch resistance and durability, making the Astronomik MC-Clear filter the perfect choice for protecting your optics or sensors (e.g. Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, Schmidt-Newton telescopes, Maksutov systems, and DSLR cameras) from dust particles and airborne contaminants without affecting the sensitivity of the camera or the eye, altering colors or destroying the optical performance of your system.Parfocality: The Astronomik MC-Clear glass is manufactured to the same high standards as other Astronomik filters, ensuring it is parfocal with other Astronomik filters. This means it can be used interchangeably with other filters without affecting the focus.

Additionally, it is multicoated to prevent unwanted reflections and does not block infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) light.Astronomik MC-Clear filter are highly regarded by camera manufacturers worldwide for their superior coating and scratch resistance, available in various custom diameters.Other usesIt is an alternative to the Astronomik IR-Block or UV-IR Block (L-1, L-2, L-3) filters for photography in systems without refracting optical elements, e.g. Newton telescopes.Alternatives Use the Astronomik IR-Block or UV-IR Block (L-1, L-2, L-3) filters for photography in systems with refracting optical elements.Suitability of the Astronomik MC-Clear filtersVisual observation: For dust protection onlyCMOS and CCD photography: Good, to compensate the optical thickness of other Astronomik filters; dust protectionDSLR photography: For dust protection onlyWebcam and video: For dust protection onlyDifference between Astronomik standard and XT Clip-FiltersThe new Astronomik XT-Filters are specifically designed for astrophotography with wide-angle lenses, delivering sharp and crisp star images all the way to the edges of the image. When using very short focal length lenses to take widefield images, standard Clip-Filters could introduce aberrations, stretching stars in the outermost corners of the image. To solve this issue, the new Astronomik XT-Filters are coated on an extremely thin substrate of only 0.3mm or 0,5mm thickness, significantly reducing these aberrations. Despite the reduced thickness, the Astronomik XT-Filters maintain the highest optical quality. They are manufactured using the same durable coating technology as all Astronomik filters. More information about our XT-Filters can be found here.Technical dataSuitable for all focal ratiosTypical transmission: 97-99% Glass thickness: 1mm (except Astronomik OWB Type 3 and XT filters)Finely polished optical glass, free of any striae, residual stresses, and bubblesExtremely scratch-resistant and durable coatingCompletely resistant against high humidity and aging effectsAstronomik MFR coating (Astronomik Deep-Sky RGB, UV-IR Block L-1, L-2, L-3, and Narrowband-Emissionline filters)Parfocal with other Astronomik filtersDiffraction-limitedOptimized spectral windowsDelivered in a high-quality, long-lasting filter boxDue 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. Additionally, each Astronomik Narrowband-Emissionline filter is measured using a high-end PerkinElmer Spectrophotometer to ensure it meets the specifications published on our website. On the back of each Narrowband-Emissionline filter box, you will find a label detailing the precise spectral data for that specific filter, including the maximum transmission and the recommended range of focal ratios.
