They are all good, particularly if modded. The 1100d is the one that is popular, decent sensor, good resolution, and just about the ideal pixel size for the more popular ED scopes.A.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Have a look at www.astronomiser.co.uk he has brand new camera bodies pre modded for good prices, I had mine modded by him, there are also some other good sites around selling second hand modded cameras for very good prices...herehttp://astrospectrumdslrs.weebly.comhttp://cheapastrophotography.vpweb.co.ukHope that helpsOllySent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamar98 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have bought a dslr. I'd have gone straight to ccd. Don't get me wrong there are some corker images produced on the dslr but it's got to be ccd all the way! Since getting into ccd the dslr doesn't get a look in anymore. Maybe worth a thought?

Maybe worth a thought?I agree with you, although I have both modded DSLR and CCD and FOV of the DSLR is far greater than my CCD, I'd still work with the CCD. It is just easier and quicker, @ -15c the 428EX does not need darks, the chip is a lot more sensitive too. Although I must confess that a modded DSLR is unbeatable value for money particularly for someone just starting AP. I would also say that perhaps something like a QHY8L with it's DSLR size sensor should not be overlooked and @ £900 it is not unaffordable if not exactly cheap, the chip is a bit old but people do really nice work with this OSC camera.Regards,A.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
