Astronomik OWB Type 3 filter
The Astronomik OWB (Original White Balance) Type 3 filter is not a traditional astronomical filter. This filter allows a modified camera to be used for both astrophotography and everyday photography, eliminating the need to dedicate a camera solely to astronomical tasks. The Astronomik OWB Type 3 filter is designed to enable modified DSLR and system cameras, which have had their inbuilt color correction or infrared (IR) filter removed or replaced, to be used for regular photography.
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
Technical Data
- 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
- Diffraction-limited
- Optimized spectral windows
- Delivered in a high-quality, long-lasting filter box
- Made in Germany
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.
