Took 6 shots to test and I'm well impressed :) Now it's back in the box and being shipped out for the IR filter swap:D Was gonna do it myself but bottled out :lol: Looking forward to getting it back :)
 
Very nice Steve. I'll be looking forward to your Ha images. As to bottling it, I can understand that :D. It's a lot of money to have spent on the 450d only to fry the electronics during dismantlement to get at the IR filter.
 
Hi, I am new to this site. I have a 450d as well. What is this modification?

Thanks John
I decided to dedicate it to Astro stuff, keep the 50D for general daytime stuff and if I dare will mod the 30D for dedicated IR :D The 450D is going to Astronomiser for the mod ;)

Hi and welcome to the forum :thumbs:
THe mod involves removing the IR cut filter from the sensor to make it more sensative to Hydrogen Alpha (HA) and replacing it with a filter that allows HA but still blocks most IR and UV light and basically ruins the guarantee and throws out the colour balance for daytime photography :) although with a dedicated white balance will allow it to be used for conventional photography, but I will be keeping this for Astro shots only :D

HTH

Steve, where are you getting this done as I was thinking of getting the 350d converted for IR some when next year. Opps just noticed you have said already ;)
