Note: For cameras with a *, the automatic sensor cleaning function is lost during conversion. After the conversion, the sensor can be cleaned dry (e.g. with compressed air) or wet (e.g. with swabs) as usual. All preparations and methods available on the market for sensor cleaning can be used.
Astro filter
For astrophotography, you have the choice between a full spectrum filter and a so-called astro filter. Both filters have advantages and disadvantages.
Full spectrum:
Not suitable for wide-angle shots due to complex color shifts
Additional UHC, bandpass or luminance filters are required
Multispectral images in the UV or IR range are possible
Halos around bright stars occur in deep-sky images
Not recommended for night landscapes
Full spectrum:
The color shift can be corrected well with a manual white balance for night landscapes and deep sky
Additional filters are not necessary, but possible
No multispectral images (UV/IR)
No halos due to effective coating of the glass
Not recommended for multispectral and scientific imaging in the IR or UV range
You can find more details and sample images in our dedicated Astro articles.
