Hello IIS , my very first post....
I found an article on the ASSA website about a firmware 'hack' for a Canon 300D, that added ISO 3200 and provided 'mirror-lock' (I've no idea what that is or does, but the author seemed very excited so it must be good

).
I'm just starting to work out what equipment I will need to do 'astro-photography' as a newbie. It just so happens I have a much neglected Canon 400D Rebel XTi in one of my 'archive drawers' and the idea of using that really appeals.
I searched the internet and of course there's plenty of stuff on a similar firmware 'hack' for the 400D. My question for IIS people: has anyone done this reasonably recently and successfully, and if so what is best method / source?
many thanks
