Modded Nikon D70Posted By DJ Hanson |
Greg,
Nice job. I don't know if you've seen any of Walter Koprolin or ERv der Veldon's work, but they too have taken some nice astro shots with a mod'd Nikon D70:

On other boards, I find a lot of 'unsubstantiated' hesitation for using a D70 for astro work. Your and other D70 images are helping to persuade me that the D70 really is a top, astro camera (provided like others, it is mod'd). I think so much of fine DSLR astro work, whether it be Nikon or Canon, is just removing that pesky IR filter! Keep sharing, maybe someday I'll mod my D70...
