It will also work for infrared photography.[SOLD]

3)Timer remote control with LCD screen. [SOLD]

Everything above is in excellent condition. The price for the camera is $460[updated to current price] + actual shipping cost. Pick up is free.

Hi guys,

I can confirm that the Series IV 'Stiletto' Focuser comes in the most expensive Pro version package which will cost you $300 including delivery if you buy it new.
Here is a direct link to it

and here is video tutorials on how to use it

I can also consider splitting my offer.

cheers,

I will consider any reasonable offer for the camera package.

C'mon guys, this is really worth the money I am asking for it.

Let see
The Stilleto package will cost you AU$320 landed in Australia if you buy it new and Deluxe version of the same focuser has been sold here very quickly for $180 AUD a month ago. I am selling a Pro version which is better and more expensive. Let say it takes $200-210 AUD in the total price of my package.
It means that AU$590-600 left for the camera and the remote control(worth AU$45-50). So the price you will pay for the camera is as low as $540-555. I don't think you can find any modded DSLR for such a low price.
Yes, it does not have a IR/UV filter but you can always add it to your imaging train. However having a camer modded with a clear glass means that the camera is not limited to astrophotography only as you can use the camera to take daylight infrared pictures too.

As I said above I can consider splitting the package. However I highly recommend to buy it as a package. I guarantee that you'll love it. You won't need to run any cables from the camera to your laptop. You won't even need a laptop for this camera because you will be able to achieve a very sharp focus and set a number of exposures and their duration without it.

is your gear still available? Does the camera have mirror lockup?

The focuser and the LCD remote sold

Hi Peter,

yes, the camera is still for sale. I'll check about mirror lockup when I get home tonight.
Sorry, cannot recall from my memory on which of my two Canon cameras I installed that russian hack firmware which enables both mirror lockup and IS03200. If it's not on this camera there should be no problems for me to install it for you.

cheers,

Mike

[ozstockman (Mike)]

Hi Peter,

I can confirm that this camera has the russian "hack" firmware installed.

cheers,

Mike

Hi John,

Michael' I don't understand what this russian 'hacked' firmware means. Obviously I need to know what it is and how to use it if it is not in the camera instruction s. I only have used Nikon up to now. Thanks

Hi Peter,

the "russian hack" is unofficial firmware update that unlocks some additional functions in 300D/350D/400D Canon cameras.

As far as I know mirror lockup and ISO3200 are not part of functions available in original Canon menu for 300D/350D/400D models and most likely functions for 20D/30D/40D models. However these functions are there and they are just hidden in 300D/350D/400D models by Canon. The "russian hack" update just makes them available for use. It's called "russian" because it was written by a guy from russia :-)

You can access all unlocked functions as easy as you usually access functions in Canon menu. All new unlocked functions will be in the last tab under "Custom functions" menu. IS03200 is available at the same place where you usually change ISO. It appears as the last option on the ISO list after 1600 with only difference that instead of displaying 3200 you will see "H". If you select it it will mean you just set your camera to ISO 3200.

Below is a link to more details about this firmware

There must be even more detailed guides about it available on the Internet.
