Ultimate Astrophotography Modified Canon 1100D (X50 Rebel T3) Plus Optolong L-Pro Clip in Filter

The camera has all the filters removed. The filter supplied is  Optolong L-Pro Clip in Filter.
The camera is intended to focus just with a Live View so the Quick Focus feature most likely will not focus correctly.

There can be some dust particles visible; if this happens please clean the sensor with a photo air blower and a sensor swab.
You can replace the filter in the camera with any other clip-in filter suitable for Canon EOS APS-C cameras.

Please note that the camera with the filter takes only Canon EF lenses. You need to modify the Canon EF-S lens yourself or buy already modified lens.

You can replace the clip-in filter with a filter that fits in Canon EOS APS-C cameras.
