[QUOTE=Paul Haese;617091]ah yes the Canon is better than Nikon tripe!
Sorry Greg, but the defining line between Canon Backs and Nikon back is well non extent anymore. Everything depends on the user and the skills of that user with the camera. I am using my Nikon D3 for some wide field astro and found it works very well unmodded. A modded version would be as equal to a Canon modded and only the deep magentas would be of more use. I own a 40d with cooling and modded and it does a lovely job but has more noise related issues than my D3. Several generations apart of course, but an unmodded can produce very good results now with the newer filters. Either Canon or Nikon would be a good choice, being modded will help but is not totally essential.
Sorry if I offended Paul as I am somewhat out of my depth here being not totally conversant with the latest Canon gear/Nikon gear. I remember there was a lot of buzz and excitement over the Nikon D3 when it was coming out and I saw some amazing daytime images with it.
My only experience with Nikon was when I started with a D70 and whilst it was a nice camera the Canon's in those days were far better. Since then I have had a couple of modded 20Ds which are spectacular cameras and I have a 40D for terrestial shots which I love. So I bow to your more experienced knowledge on the subject. I am sure the Nikon is superb.
Greg.
