Hello from Singapore!

Hello

 

This is perhaps my opening post, but thanks FLO for this wonderful setup!

Hoping to get some inspiration for our shared hobby, astronomy.

 

Hoping to see some good improvement in my skills as an amateur astronomer.

Cheerios!

Hi there and welcome.

Thanks guys!

 

I have some questions for you guys:

Would it be recommended to modify a Nikon D5100 for astrophotography (removal of mirror, Ha filter) or get a new Nikon D5300? I am considering starting with some preliminary wide-view shots before I get the necessary equipment for deep-sky imaging.

Are you going to carry out the modification yourself? ...or ask an authorised Nikon dealer to do it?
