G'day
I am wondering what the 6D is like for astrophotography, the noise levels look pretty good. If I got one it would be used mainly on an 8 inch F6 newt and for doing wide fields with telephoto lenses.
I have been looking into CCD's but have decided dslr will be more versatile, I've done a fair bit of imaging with older Canon APS-C dslr's and found that they weren't really much use without cooling, but as the 6D has such low noise would I be able to get away with just a simple filter mod?
The things that are attracting me to the 6D are:
1. Light weight, 700 something grams.
2. Really low noise.
3. Good size pixels (6.5 um), and still good resolution (20 MP) for wide fields.
Wifi control with your iphone, can zoom up on images to check focus etc.
5. Clip in filters for it came out the other day
6. Have read a lot of good stuff about it.
What do you reckon?
Thanks a lot,
Jo
