450D Mod Complete!

Everything's gone red! Yay!

Finished the Mod on my 450D a few days ago. The original IR cut filter (which also blocks the Ha wavelengths a lot) has been removed and replaced with an Astrodon Inside filter.

I found the mod reasonably ok, following the online guide by Gary Honis and his YouTube video made it a lot easier. The trickiest bit was reinstalling the shutter assembly, but carefully does it, after a few anxious moments it went into place...

Looking forward to trying the camera out and my new 2" 7nm Ha filter from Santa as well, when this bloomin' weather clears up!

Clear skies!
