Description

Overview

Entry level and unexpensive DSLR camera professionally Astro-Converted for increased 4X H-alpha sensitivity and 6X Sulfur II sensitivity with a generous APS-C sensor for about 1/8th the price of a Color Cooled Camera with the same sensor size. The stock UV/IR blocking sensor filter is removed and the Low Pass Anti-Aliasing filter is preserved with Enhanced Spectrum bandpass (Visible + H-alpha + Sulfur II). User and budget friendly for aspiring astrophotographers expecting an easy way to capture images of deep reddish nebulae structures.

Condition: Used excellent condition body with minor signs of cosmetic wear and shutter count below 30K.

Straightforward Camera Control and Focus process

The exposures timing remote control is simply doable with Canon EOS Utility Free Software or Astrophotography data capture software like Backyard EOS or Astrophotography tool. Subject framing and perfect focus procedure can also be done easily with or without focus masks over Live View digital zoom using the camera’s Vari-angle LCD touchscreen, and also with Canon EOS Utility Free Software or with the mentioned 3rd party software when the camera is connected to a computer.

Suitable for casual photography

This Astro-Converted camera can still be used for casual daylight photography setting the custom white balance with an 18% gray card shot or with Adobe Camera Raw white balance presets and an original white balance filter is not mandatory. For accurate color balance on portrait pictures or product pictures, the stock version or a OWB filter must be used.

**Out of focus NIR: With the Enhanced Spectrum modified camera, depending on the lens, telescope or optical corrector used, some imagers might experience a little bit bloated stars due to the near infrared light slightly out of focus when a refractive optical system does not have at least one ED (Extra-Low Dispersion glass) element. This chromatic aberration could be mitigated with post processing correction using computer software.

Worth the wait

Took about a month and a half and barely got a change to use it since it’s been cloudy. But it was well worth the wait! Responded quickly to questions and updates, very good experience overall.

Astro modded T2i

Great camera. It work very well. Daniel does quality work, He will do what he says. Be patient, I ordered during the holidays. So the process took a little longer than normal., but Daniel was there to answer all my questions. Both with phone and emails . Excellent job. Thank you

This is now a month later and nothing is received after at least 2 emails.
It is now Nov 10.2023 and still no delivery. Iso claims that it was delivered.

Fantastic Company

I ordered this T2I and I am very happy. Daniel was very helpful. My order took a little longer than expected because he had so many orders come in at once, but he could not have been nicer in answering my questions and working to get the camera to me. I appreciate all his help. I took a picture of the Orion nebula and it was amazing how much more I picked up than with my stock camera. Super happy customer here.
