DSLR advice
This topic has probably been covered - deep in the archives?
I currently use a unmodded Canon 550d with a 9.25sct on a CGEM.
I get occasional good photos and a lot of not so good ones. Noise is the main problem.
I'm thinking of getting new camera:
1. A used unmodded 40d (around $350-$400) - will this give much better photos than the 550d?
2. Either get a modded 40d or mod it myself (risky).
3. Get a new 60Da ($1600) - these seem a little overpriced compared to the standard 60d. Would the 60Da be better than a modded 40d?
I know astro CCDs will give the best photos - but I don't want to have to use a PC.
Also would an apo refractor say 110-120mm be a better option to the sct? Getting a good focus seems really hard - even with a Bahtinov mask.
Any advice?
Regards,
Tony.
