Canon EOS 600Da Astromodified DSLR Camera
FLO can now offer Astro Modified Canon DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras suitable for Astrophotography.
Cameras supplied by FLO are refurbished models by TKAstroservice and meet their Excellent condition criteria which means that each camera be in excellent overall conditon with minimal signs of wear and a shutter count of under 30,000.
Each camera is supplied boxed with Battery, Charger and Charging Cable. In addition a removable view Finder cover is included to prevent light leakage onto the sensor.
The Box includes a QR Code for downloading the instruction manual.
The Astro Modification increases the sensitivity of the camera in the near infrared range. In particular, the camera is significantly more sensitive to the H-alpha wavelength of 656.28nm, which plays a very important role in astrophotography and for imaging emission nebulae in particular.
During the conversion, the so-called low-pass filter 2 is removed without replacement. Since this filter has a different refractive index to air, the position of the sensor must be adjusted for a correct flange focal distance. To do this, the sensor is correctly adjusted to approx. +-0.01mm using precision tools. This means that the autofocus is retained after the modification and it is guaranteed that you can focus on infinity with all lenses, which is a common problem with a DIY conversion. The precision tools also guarantee that the sensor is not tilted after the conversion, which is essential for a sharp image right into the corners.
As the low-pass filter 1 is not removed, the automatic sensor cleaning is also retained with this modification.
Each camera includes a 1 Year Warranty
Can the camera also be used during the day?
Because the low-pass filter 2 has been removed, the images have a reddish tint. This can be corrected either in the camera with a manual white balance or in post-processing in the RAW file format on the PC. However, this is cumbersome and does not always work perfectly, which is why there is the option to fit a so-called OWB (Original White Balance) clip filter, which restores the function of the Lowpass Filter 2.
