Canon EOS SLR cameras are widely used by astrophotographers. As these are designed primarily for daytime use, the chip in them is not very sensitive to the hydrogen-alpha wavelengths that are important for astrophotographers.
Fortunately, there is a solution! By modifying the Canon EOS camera (by replacing the UV/IR block filter in it), the sensitivity of the sensor can be greatly increased, allowing even more spectacular astrophotography. Compare images taken without and with the filter!
Canon EOS compatibility chart:
.
| BCF-1 | APS-C (e.g. 400D, 450D, 500D, 550D, 600D, 700D, 1000D, 1100D, 1200D, 1300D, 2000D etc.) |
| BCF-2 | Full frame (e.g. EOS 5 D Mark II, Mark III and EOS 6D) |
| ACF-2 | 350D,10D, 20D, 30D |
| ACF-1 | 300D |
Attention! Replacing the filter will void the warranty of the camera, in addition, manual white balance adjustment (or use of an external filter) is required for daytime use to ensure scene accurate images. A charged battery, battery charger and memory card are also required for filter replacement!
We only accept Canon DSLRs, we do not accept MILCs or cameras from other manufacturers.
