Canon 2.5X right angle viewer for easier critical focusing

8 GB compact flash card for image storage

This camera body is modded for astro use and extended Ha response, but it can also take regular daytime photos if a custom white balance is set. Please be aware that this classic 5D is not as versatile over its USB connection as the more recent EOS cameras. Features like focusing, f-ratio settings, and live view are not available over the USB connection. That said, exposure times can be managed over USB using BYEOS or any other software that can control the shutter in bulb mode via the included DSUSB interface box. For most long-exposure astro uses it's a great camera with a huge, full-frame sensor.

Buyer can pickup the camera in Tucson, or I will ship at cost for carriage and insurance.
