The 600D is quite a good daytime camera but it's very noisy as an astro-camera except in near zero temperatures.

The Nikon D5300,5500,5600's are much less noisy and also even easier to modify.

Of course if you have no other use for the 600D it's fine to start with. I started using our only camera (a Canon 600D) then moved to a nikon d5600 to get less noise then modified that to increase Ha signal. Our 600D has gone back to being a daytime camera - autofocus is fast when looking through the viewfinder.

I don't have any filter in the camera and use a 2" L-Enhance with the telescope (purchased from Cyclops Optics)
