Hi Adam, I've got a KM 7D which I've used for motorsports photgraphy in the past but now it will get used for astro pix. I haven't modded it in any way but I have bought a remote control which lets me control exposure past the max 30 secs it has inbuilt.
The few shots I have taken says the camera works quite well as an astro shooter and the lenses aren't too bad either. I'll go for widefield using the KM glass soon as the clouds let me attached beside the 4.5 on the EQ6 mount.
I'm not keen to mod it as it still gets used for other events but we'll see how it goes and maybe that will change. I have a T2 adapter and the big scope handles 2" through the focusser so later on I'll do some prime and report back.
