EOS 40D now spectrum enhanced for Astrophotography, the modification went really smoothly.

here is the light spectrum for most EOS cameras, the second is an EOS camera with the replacement filter. much more h-alpha and o2, thirdly is a clear glass option.

Not really a DIY job then. Look forward to seeing the results you obtain with the modified camera.
