Well I bit the bullet and did a self mod on my Canon 450D, after 1.5 hours the camera worked first go (thank goodness). We have had a really nice week here in Brisbane as far as clear skies go so I was able to test the camera with the following image.
Canon 450D modded
1600 ISO
2 hours of 90 sec subs
Flats (sort of)
Darks (pre mod)
Bias files (pre mod)
DSS and PS for final adjustments.
Fairly happy with my first modded image but I have to take some new bias files, my flats washed out due to camera movement and my dark bank is pre mod. I just finished taking 120 x 90 sec darks tonight so I will reprocess over the next few days.
Thanks for looking and comments and advice always welcome.
Thanks again guys, I know you replied before the crash and I did uploaded the reprocess on the night of the crash and have just not got around to putting it back up so here we go.
This is the same image but with better flats and correct darks.
