DSLR - No mirror box or shutter - Can I mod for astrophotography?

Hi guys,

I've come across a cheap Canon 50d DSLR. It is missing the mirror box and shutter.

Is this still going to be viable for astrophotography? I would be looking to remove the IR filter in this unit and use purely for astro.

Does anyone know If I will be able to achieve focus with it on the back of a telescope without the mirror box?

Is the shutter cover really necessary these days with the digital sensors?
