Is the Canon 450D good for astrophotography?

Canon Rebel Astrophotography A DSLR camera like the Canon Rebel 450D is a versatile choice as it can easily be attached to a telescope for deep sky imaging using a T-Ring and adapter. I’ve used many types of cameras for astrophotography from monochrome CMOS imaging cameras to cooled one-shot-color models.

What is an astro modified camera?

Astro modified cameras are regular DSLRs where part of the infrared (IR) filter has been removed to allow it to processes color from deep sky objects better.

Can you film on a Canon EOS 450D?

Canon EOS 450d movie / video recording – EOS Camera Movie Record. Yes, it’s true! You can record videos on your EOS 450D / Rebel XSi, but only when tethered to your PC/Laptop via the USB cable. You’ll also need to have installed the Canon USB drivers so that your camera can talk to your PC.

Is Canon 450D good for video?

Yes you really can record video on your 450d / XSi.

Is the Canon T7i good for astrophotography?

The Canon EOS Rebel T7i is one of those options, it is a great beginner camera and has all the tools you need to start creating great astrophotography. The T7i comes with a 24.2 megapixel APS-C sensor which delivers good results and can be great if you’re looking to shoot close-ups, because of its crop factor.

Why use a UV IR cut filter?

The IR-Cut filter blocks UV and IR wavelengths from reaching the sensor of CCD or CMOS cameras. When imaging, the addition of this filter will result in sharper images, and when using for solar observations, it will protect your H-alpha filter from damaging IR radiation.

Should I modify my camera for astrophotography?

Modifying digital cameras is not necessary to obtain great astrophotos. Many stock cameras have good hydrogen-alpha response, e.g. recent Canon DSLRs. The advantage of a stock digital camera in astrophotography is that the color balance is close to that of the human eye, and shows compositional differences better.

Can you film on Canon EOS 1000d?

It cannot officially record video, but there is an open source project to allow recording direct to a computer. Given that it doesn’t support video natively then there won’t be a built in microphone to record sound.

How many megapixels do you need for astrophotography?

A resolution to fit with your devices’ screens For a picture to be pinpoint sharp on a Full HD screen, its definition should be at least 1920 x 1080 pixels, or around 2.07 MP.

Can a canon 600D be used for astrophotography?

Since picking up the 600D in 2016, I’ve used some powerful cameras for astrophotography (including a monochrome CCD), but I still find uses for this old DSLR today. In 2020, the T3i is still one of the most popular DSLRs being used for astrophotography in the amateur community. Not bad for a camera that launched in 2011.

Can a Canon EOS Rebel be used for astrophotography?

You can use it in countless imaging configurations from wide-angle nightscapes to deep-sky astrophotography through a telescope. You are free to explore and capture the night sky with only a tripod and lens, if desired. In my experience, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i, in particular, sits in the “sweet spot” between functionality and value.

What kind of camera do I use for astro photography?

In this Gallery I have compiled some astro images taken with a Canon 450D (XSi) DSLR camera I modified in 2008. Telescope used was an Astro-Tech 127mm ED APO Triplet Refractor.

Can a canon Rebel T3i be used for astronomy?

Dedicated astronomy cameras can be used for this purpose too, but they lack a user interface and require external computer control. The Canon EOS Rebel T3i includes the EF-S lens mount, which means you have access to Canon’s full line-up of impressive EF and EF-S lenses.
