Cannon 600D DSLR

[Dre]

Hi all!

I'm looking to upgrade my DSLR to a 600D, just wondering if it's any good for astro stuff? And if so do you have any images with one?!

Thanks.

Hi Dre,

The 600D is good for astronomy, but have a look at the 600Da. Just google Canon 600Da.

For a fraction of the price of the 600Da you could get a Baader modified 600D from here:

What the difference? Sorry to be a pain?

The flip screen on the 600d is lovely; i wish the 6d had a flip screen; it makes seeing live view SOOO much easier.

The 600d is as [in]sensitive to hydrogen alpha as most other general purpose dslr cameras in that range.

No probs - basically a 'normal' camera has a filter over the sensor that blocks some of the stuff that is more desirable to be captured on some types of astro pics - a modified camera rectifies this. Check out the details on the website linked to above.

Yes you could.

or is it abit harder than that? Ha.

Yes it is. How hard depends on the camera.

For reference here is video on how to do it on the Canon 650D.

I might just get one, then If I want to get the mod I will! Cheers for the help peeps !
