Ultimate Astrophotography Modified Refurbished Canon 600D (EOS Kiss X5, EOS Rebel T3i) + Optolong L-Pro Filter

This camera has all its filters removed. It comes with an Optolong L-Pro clip-in filter that helps manage city light.

Ideally, it would be a part of a setup with a tracker like Star Adventurer.

No dust particles on the sensor guaranteed.

Magic Lantern is available for this model.

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 an already modified lens.

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

Below are the astrophotography filters suitable for this camera:

Optolong L-Pro (very good, transmits a lot of colors, can be used in light-polluted areas)

CLS CCD (less color than L-Pro, mostly to suppress city lights)

Optolong L-Enhance (less color than L-Pro, but better in light-polluted areas, better than CLS CCD in light-polluted areas)

Optolong Ha (narrowband, not much color, the best in light-polluted areas)

Optolong L-Extreme (less color than L-Enhance, but better in light-polluted areas, more color than Optolong Ha)

Optolong H-Alpha same as Ha (narrowband, not much color, very good in light-polluted areas)

Astronomik OIII-Filter
Astronomik Hß-Filter
