Anyone tried Astro-Modding their birding camera?
Hi,
As well as bird photography I like to take astrophotos, so recently I have been thinking about modifying my spare 300D to better record red emission nebulae.
However, an alternative was suggested to me today by an astronomy retailer; that I might be better off having my 40D modified as I could still use it for daytime photography with either a custom white balance or clip in filter.
I raised my concern that I wouldn't want to affect it's auto focus performance, as I enjoy taking photos of birds in flight, but he seemed to think that provided the correct replacement filter was used that it shouldn't harm AF performance at all.
So has anyone looked into this or even tried it? Please let me know know your experiences.
Thanks,
Julian. :)
