Anyone used "Cheap Astrophotography" for modded cameras?
Jonk replied to Leebert's topic in Discussions - Cameras
juan_fierros@yahoo.co.uk I can also confirm a great service. He modded my 1100D with a Baader filter and removed the anti-aliasing filter, sent on a Thursday, received back very early the following week. 48 hour turnaround is normally to be expected. I noticed that 2 screws were missing, so I asked him if he had 2 spare, and I received these + philips 00 + 8gbsd card within 2 days. Perfect. -

M101 Pinwheel Galaxy, 2h25m total, 47 lights mostly 180s each, 47 darks, 10 flats, 10 dark flats, 10 bias, EOS 1100D Baader modified, Astronomik CLS filter, Skywatcher 150P on an HEQ5 Pro mount, PHD guiding. Taken from my back garden in Southsea on Thursday the 26th of March 2015, waxing crescent moon, about 25% illuminated. Quite windy too! -

Quick Orion timelapse, Saturday the 14th of March, back garden in Southsea. Stock Canon 70D + Astronomik CLS clip filter, 14mm Samyang lens, f2.8, iso 3200, 22s each shot. MP4 doesn't play well on here so it was converted to a gif...not great either! -
Fantastic! That is all. Truly inspiring.. Must try harder.

If I can haul myself out of bed, I'm going to try and capture this.

As I said, it had a broken focuser so we chopped half the height off and ground off the plastic teeth (these were mashed). I also removed half of the focuser tube so it didn't protrude into the light path. The focuser just slides up and down and I've fitted a securing screw to lock it. Not the easiest to focus, but it's only a test really. A barlow wasn't wanted as it reduces the amount of light and the scope is slow as it is. We'll be lucky to get more than a minute per sub on it I reckon.

Exactly...The Dremmel has been in action! It had a broken focuser so that was sacrificed and is now half the height it was.

Very interesting info on the 130PDS. Does anyone have any images taken using the longer 130/900? We're in the process of butchering one that had a broken focuser, to see what can be achieved using a 450D on a motorised EQ2.
