Full spectrum modded Canon 1100D. Cheap and cheerful DSLR, perfect start into astrophotography.
I modded it and tested it over Christmas, but is now surplus to requirements (I have another 1100D). It can get some decent results given the extra sensitivity.
6400 ISO (unboosted) and 12mp means larger pixel size and increased sensitivity.
Please note the auto focus does NOT work, so it's a dedicated astro DSLR.
$450, postage included in Aust.
PM me if keen.
Thanks

Had a couple of queries about what filter I replaced the camera with, just to be clear, it is a full spectrum mod. So I took out both the UV/IR filter at the front and the "blue" bypass filter. The filter is thus exposed, save for a factory fitted clear glass cemented to the naked sensor itself.
This means the refractive index has been changed, and therefore you cannot use auto focusing lens, but photos can still be taken manually.
In addition, you will need to do a custom white balance to offset against the pink tinge in the "normal" photos.
I have also attached a white t-shirt flat showing no dust on the sensor, the photo is pink because of the camera mod.
thanks
