Canon before/after Mods.

Hi All,
Thanks for all the comments, and yes I realise there was a 2 x time difference in addition of pictures, but its all I could dig up for a comparison, and two more exposures of the unmodded picture added, would make no difference to the colour and definition, no colour adjustment was made to the modded picture, Im trying CWB (custom white balance) hopefully that will do the trick while still showing the increased Ha sensitivity, Ive tried UV/IR block Filters, made no difference to the All Red effect, there will be an answer, Anyway this type of Astrophotography using an uncooled conventional Camera, but with that LARGE 6 Mp Chip is the way to go, and im more than happy with the results by comparison to the cooled MX7C with the 470 K approx. CCD chip, which I now use for guiding, it is however better on small faint objects (galaxies, nebula Etc.) Horses for courses ??, Ill post the results of the CWB Pix shortly.

cheers......Jim
