I have nodded several Canons, from simple LP1 & 2 filter removals, to full cold finger cooling and debayering sensors to mono. My advice is don't bother. Yes you can increase Ha sensitivity with a filter mod but every time you open up a camera you run the risk of killing it completely. The little ribbon cable locking bars used in Canon's are notorious for breaking off and they can't be replaced, the board has to be changed.
Just buy a dedicated cooled astro CMOS camera, they are very cost effective now, costing the same or less than a good DSLR. These new generation CMOS cameras did not exist until ZWO released the ASI1600 back in 2016, since then people modding old DSLRs has dropped right off.
