Re: Where to buy modified canon DSLR?
Get a 2nd hand 1000D or 450D which should really be in the low 200-300s now and, if you're willing to let that go up in smoke, step into the brave world of DIY'ing the mod yourself! Here's Gary Honis's fantastic website with mod instructions: http://dslrmodifications.com/ And here's what I did: http...

Re: Recommendation on eyepiece kit
Or, if starting out and really not sure, can consider like me, get a 8x24 zoom, mine's a Celestron. Not the best, not by a long shot, but gives me flexibility until I can later decide which range is my preferred if I wanna get individuals.

Re: Telescope for deep sky photography
1) you can get the filters from Peter Lee @ tan14.com (he is based in HK) he can also sell you an iOptron ZEQ25 if you like. Shipping is very reasonable because HK is not too far away. 2) Sivakis' recommended CG4 may be $500 SGD but I believe the motors are not included, you need to pay another $15...

If my interest grow, i will venture into the mounts and then lastly comes the telescope. So.... start from step one and grab my DRLS and wait for so...

Re: Telescope for deep sky photography
AP can definitely be done with just an EOS and lens, especially when starting out. The 60D is a good camera but do bear in mind of the weight of the camera. Initially this won't be an issue if you're just using cam+lens on a static tripod. But when you start mounting it on a telescope, the weight of...
