First light with modified 300D...

[Robby]

Hi,
Got a clear night last night to try out the modified 300D. Pretty impressive. ;)
Still lost quite a bit of red due to light pollution removal, but it certainly is a lot more sensitive.
6x2min shots ISO800, Modified Canon 300D, plus external IR cut filter.
Autoguided C9.25 @ f/6.3.

Whadaya reckon Ponders!
Cheers

Looks good Robby. I'll get it in the mail as soon as IISAC is finished :thumbsup: :D

Did you try anywithout the filter?

[Robby]

Yep... They were nasty. Very washed out in the Red. Be ok for a Luminance channel if you wanted one though.

Well worth it by the looks of it.

Looks good Robby...what a big difference compared to the usual blue image you guys have been getting.

Well done.

[Robby]

Almost as good as a 20DA huh! :D... For reference here is a Tarantula shot I took pre-mod from a dark site.
So if the new image is so much better under a light polluted sky I can't wait to get it under a dark sky! I'm still reckon I'm lacking a bit of red with the mod'ed image due to the processing out of the light pollution.
Cheers
