Don't know. At present I use a Pentax camera so I use the 48mm threaded filters. One advantage of the threaded filters is that they will work with everything, not just Canon.

That's what I'm thinking, plus I guess you could use for visual use too ..

I have read that somewhere else as well and was thinking along the same lines, but on the Astronomic website it clearly says the cls-ccd is better for even unmodded dslr's and the plain cls is mainly for visual, so I am a little confused. On the links below scroll down to the suitability section on each page and have a read. It says that the cls is good for unmodded dslr's but the cls-ccd is very good for unmodded dslr's. Some input regarding this from some of you guys who actually use the filters would be great.
Thanks

Hi Rex,

I thought the same thing, but somewhere else, or even here, I got the advice to get the CLS only and not the CCD version. I think its because as mentioned, the unmodded DSLR has a UVIR filter still in it, so the CLS-CCD with its IR filter is not needed.

Check out my pic on post #3 for what the EOS Clip CLS can do with my 1000D which is unmodded.

Cheers

Chris

That's not how I read it. And I think the word "very" good was added by mistook.

Keep in mind there's a couple of DSLR mods. One replaces the onboard filter with another filter that still blocks UV/IR but has higher red transmission (astro modified) and the other mod replaces the filter with a clear one (MC modified). Or something like that.

The MC modified, along with CCD's will need the CLS-CCD.

For an unmodified DSLR, I could be wrong but I think they would happily take either, but only need the CLS.

Thanks Chris and Kevin. Kevin I did some more research and I think your right about an unmodded camera can take either. I have attached the light curves for the cls, cls-ccd and the original canon uv/ir filters below for comparison. It appears as you said that the cls-ccd and cls are almost identicle apart from the cls-ccd blocking uv/ir. If i am reading the graphs correctly though the canon uv/ir filter blocks out more of it than the cls-ccd so therefore the cls-ccd and cls filter will basically have the same result in an unmodded camera. The reason I am still tossing up between the two is that my canon 1100d was bought purely for astro work and I will eventually get it modified as funds etc become available. So if I am reading them correctly, if I get the cls-ccd it will work well both now and when I get it modified. Please someone correct me if I am wrong. The Canon is on the left, the cls is in the middle and the cls-ccd is on the right.

Yep, spot on Rex.

Buy a CLS-CCD now and then when you mod the 1100, it will work for that too.

I must admit, when I found out that my unmodded 1000D would do just fine with the cheaper CLS, I simply bought that instead of the dearer CLS-CCD, because I had other things to buy at the time like the Bahtinov mask, the DBK21AU618 and the dew heater....Kaching!

Cheers

Chris

Thanks for your help Chris. I here ya about other things to buy. It's a never ending hole in the pocket, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Well timely, a Meade #911B has popped up from a local person here on the forum. I'll get that and see how I go. Worst case I can always sell it
