Hi All,

Need some input on this differences in these two camera's that would make one better than the other for Astroimaging. Is there amp glow present in the 20d's?

From what I have read the features of the 30D over the 20D only one seems to be of any use to Astroimaging. That is the ISO speed of 3200. However the rest like bigger screen size and spot meetering dont seem all that important to Astroimaging. Is there something else about the 30D over the 20D that makes it more worthwhile to get?

I just have it the back of my head that perhaps the 20D is special because Canon chose it to be there one and only Astro camera body. Would a modded 20d be for all intents and purposes the same as the the 20DA? Are there features on the 20DA not available on a modded 20D?

Rough pricing i have using used Camera body's is 550 landed for a 350D and 700 landed for a 20D and about 900 for a 30D. I ruled out the 30D simply on price because saving a few more months i could get a QHY8. The 350d is almost in budget and at a stretch the 20D would be doable.

Also is the Baader ACF II filter the same as a UV/IR Filter?
