Modified Canon 300D kit

Purchased a few years ago from a noted Astro-photographer member of the Western Suburbs Astronomy Group. He had the IR-UV blocking filter removed but not replaced with anything. As a result this is now an astronomy only camera. The camera was hardly used by me and has been in a case all the time. There is a small cosmetic scuff mark on the left front shoulder, otherwise the camera is in very good condition. The kit comes with:-
-Pelican style padded case
-Silver Camera body (with body cap) Canon DS6041
-All manuals and disks
-all cables, including a long time exposure control cable
-two batteries
-fast battery charger Canon DS8101
-mains battery eliminator Canon DS8111
-Orion 2" T-adapter
-Canon mount T adapter
-Sandisk 512mb compact flash card
-Sandisk Ultra 512mb compact flash card
Asking $225 including postage within Australia, I can throw in a Canon EF35-80mm kit lens, however due the the mod the auto focus will not give correct results.

For those who are unfamiliar with this type of modification to a Canon, the filter has been remove to give it better sensitivity to narrow band radiation. It will need to be used with selective filters which you will need to buy separately. Additionally you may wish to buy a filter wheel to make selecting filter more convenient. This is a 6 mega pixel camera.
