What about a modded Canon and filter ?

Yes a modded 450D will cost around £95 from astromiser. In Ashton I'm guessing the skies are Bortle 6 to 7 and you have light pollution from LED street lights. In that case an IDAS D2 filter will cost around £170 for a 2" one and blocks out LED, sodium, mercury and even domestic tungsten. Just make sure you get a filter that fits your rig or go for a clip in one. However remember that you will not be able to use any EFS lenses on the camera while a clip in filter is in place. EF lenses are ok though.

You will still have some change for a can/bottle or two of your favourite beverage
