Here are 2 images of M42 taken with the same telescope.

The reddish one is taken with unmodded D70 with red pumped up in the processing the pinkish one is taken with a modded D70 with the red reduced. There are a similar number of exposures stacked.

It shows the better recording performance of the camera without the burden of the harsh cutout filter. The 2nd shot was also taken under a half moon.

Both are framed poorly! but serve as a demonstration.

what telescope r u using? I have a D70 can piggy back it on my telescope, but I can't get shot like these at all. What are your settings? So are you suggesting that modifying the camera isn't necessary. Thanks, clear skies.
