I have a donor camera waiting for exactly that kind of modding. I know the easy answer is to use the best tool available for the job, but this was my girlfriend's effort and her camera. She wanted to see what she could do with her camera too. "It's not the same" is the answer I got as to why she doesn't just use mine. Despite of course using my telescope, mount, autoguider, laptop, and even chair. But hey if men could understand women we'd have complete world peace right?
