Thanks Robert

I had Hap Griffin mod the camera and he was very thorough with checking it before modding so I could return if needed , great guy.

The filters are from Astronomiks and clip inside the camera so I can use them with any lens or scope 6nm Ha and 12nm OIII.

Thanks Erik.
I notice that you shoot with a Canon with filters. Could I ask, where you had the camera modded and where you get the filters that fit the canon EOS cameras. Years ago I used a 300 and 350 unmodded and may give it a go once again, after seeing the images you are taking. Very nice!

Bob

Thanks for the comments.
I was surprised how well it came out.
I wasn't sure how it would work with the moon nearly full. I did have to throw out about a dozen frames with high FWHM (out of focus?).
