Looking into a seperate dslr camera for astrophotography and was wondering about the CANON EOS 4000D DSLR Camera, as it's in a decent price range to begin with, and also does it take well to the Astronomik H-Alpha 12nm CCD EOS Clip Filter? I use a nikon d5300 for nomral photography. Thankyou for your time and patience (still learning all the ropes and teminology) paul
