Where to astro modify DSLR

[Maho]

Afternoon all

I'm thinking of astro modifying my Canon 650D. I had a look on the forums but cannot seem to find out where people go to have this done. Any ideas? Did you do it yourself?

Thanks

Juan at cheap Astro photography does a great job , he modded my 1000d and also replaced a damaged filter on my non modded 500D dslr done a great job considering the screws were rusted and he replaced the carriage inside from one of his I assume old parts cameras .

Both astronomiser and cheapastrophotography have very good reputations on these forums.

Thank you all!

Have a read of Gary Honis's web site here  covers all aspects of modifying Canon cameras 

I did my 400D a few years back - it's not difficult, but you need good eyesight or use magnifiers, and take your time

I have to say I sent an email to cheap astrophotography a couple of weeks ago (their web form is broken, so this was the suggested alternative) and I’ve heard nothing (nor have I chased yet). 
 

But hoping that’s a blip. He has an excellent reputation.

I had my 1100d done by Juan earlier this year. It must be a blip as he got back to me really quickly and turned the camera round in about 4 days

Thanks - I will try again. Everyone raves about him so will def give the benefit of the doubt. 👍

Bear in mind he’s a teacher by day so school work may bog him down .

Thank you - very helpful. Given the current situation I’ve probably picked the worst possible time to ask him!

I posted this question after watching Gary's video. Scared the hell out of me to be honest.

 

I've emailed Juan, so just waiting to hear back 👍

I don't think it is Juan's main job, so don't expect a FLO-like lightning email response 😉
