I was thinking of trying out my 1200D unmodded as a test to see how it performs. I might do that for a while before any modding or going to a CCD.
I am guessing Backyard EOS is the software package to use?

A small sensor Astrocam for DSO or other imaging from ZWO for instance is about the same as having a conversion done.
Bo, I assume you have found the earlier thread on cooled DSLRs that a few of us posted about a year or so back. I don't know how the 1200D compares internally with the 450D we experimented with at the time but there might be some bits that can be left out to improve access to the sensor. The 450D had a small board for audio output, Obviously not required.
I am currently using a 1200D. It works well unmodded for DSO targets. I'd stick with it then make the jump to a mono camera and filters as I am about to do. Sees to be the next obvious step up to better imaging.
