Today I show you the process of astro-modifying a Canon T3i. All in all the process took me 3 hours total. The process is straight forward it just requires full attention to detail. Stay tuned for future videos where I will test the camera out under the stars!
I couldn't have done this modification if it weren't for Gary Honis, his website has all the info you need to get this mod done and I used his site to walk myself through it all. BIG shout out to GARY HONIS!

A) Make sure you're grounded before attempting this. Simple to do and it protects your investment. B) Take the top portion of the camera off. Significantly reduced the risk of damaging the top ribbon cables. C) Expect to have to re-adjust the sensor focusing screws at least once. Just a few more checklist items.

Hey Kyle, I did a modification and your video is awesome. Thank you! Later on I found out that it actually shifted my focal length and I was not able to focus on infinity with my EF lens anymore. It happens due to a missing layer of refraction between sensor and lens. Since I was also planning to buy a Light Pollution filter, the clip-in from Astronomik resolved the focus issue for me. Also modding the camera also changes the White Balance. Can be fixed by using custom WB mask or can be eliminated while stacking lights and working the post-production stage in RAW format.

Just did the mod with this video playing. There are actually 5 screws in the bottom of my T3i. That caused a bit of confusion as one was beneath the "void warranty" sticker. Then I managed to break the glass filter with the piezoelectric element on it (LPF1 filter). I was planning on an H-alpha mod, but it looks like I ended up with a full spectrum camera. Time to buy an Astronomik L-2 snap in filter I guess (unless someone has a better suggestion for DSOs). Great video! Thanks!

Very informative video! I'm actually modding an old T2i now. It's currently naked sitting in a drawer because I can't locate my T7 screwdriver to remove the grounding screws. So while I wait for a new shipment, I've been watching these videos to see if I missed anything. I've also been debating whether or not to remove LPF1 (the piezoelectric element) and go with a naked sensor. Guess I have a couple more days to think about it until my new screwdrivers get here. I've been recording my process so I can rewind and review if I broke something. Keep up the videos! Definitely sub worthy!

@@KJsCosmos Hi Kyle. My previous comment about feeling The Fear too much to try this myself was made a whole month ago and "eventually" I DID overcome Fear and modified my Nikon D70. I have no experience at all in this area (I can just about change a plug if really necessary...) but inspired by your video, and watching another specifically for the Nikon D70, I dived in and it worked perfectly first time. Then I did the same to my D80 Nikon: fail! The view screen was white, and the images were all black. I went in again and disconnected then reconnected the ribbon cables more carefully, and it worked perfectly again. Happy Days! The D70 has quite a thin filter, so removing it didn't affect focus. The D80's is thick so focusing is now completely off, , so it requires 'trial and error' focusing. If I can live with this, I also won't bother with a further glass filter replacement, but I'll wait to see how hard it is to use on the scope. The D70 is a dream, showing detail in the Horsehead nebula with UHC front attached filter in amazing detail. Thanks again.

@@John-Shutterlyphotos 30D is definitely something worth learning and playing around with. I’d sooner modify that than your 7D that you daily drive for wildlife. Ultimately the 7D will give you a cleaner image, be easier to shoot with and easier to process - but the 30D can still make good images with the right techniques and if it was free, even better! Maybe a good use of it would be to use your 7D for more broadband targets like galaxies and then use the 30D for Ha targets like nebulae. You could also composite the two on a given target to get the broadband signal from the 7D and then shoot with a modded 30D to just add a luminance layer in the nebula and bring that signal out more while still using your 7D. Just some ideas!

After 2 days of trying, I did it! First attempt went poorly: I have an Eos 2000D, which has no documentation on disassembly or anything on KZfaq or Google about astro modding it. Turns out you have to entirely disassemble the case to access all the motherboard screws. I also nearly got electrocuted by the flash capacitor - thank god it happened to my multimeter and not my finger. My torx screwdrivers all got shredded by the Chad torx screws on the sensor assembly. Got a new set, got the sensor out and learned that the sensor assembly is COMPLETELY different to the 600D or the 1000D. It has no piezoelectric cleaning system. The main filter is glued to the bracket with the IR cut filter glued to a sub frame beneath that. I painstakingly peeled the main filter away with a hobby knife and managed to keep it intact. I was less careful with the IR filter because I'd frankly had enough by that stage. AND THEN; I had to reassemble and disassemble the camera 4 times to get it to focus properly, autofocus works as well. If anybody is reading this and made it this far: thank you. Please get a professional if you aren't sure what you're doing. I got very lucky with this.

One thing I did do that I think it is a great idea was... I replaced the IR cut filter with a quartz glass lens. Not only does it protect the sensor, but quarts glass can receive light farther from the UV and IR spectrum than glass can. I also have one on my guiding camera because it allows a lot more light to enter the sensor, close to twice as many stars.

Hey Kyle, great video! I used a vernier caliper to set the screws. When I put everything back together it won’t turn on. I had issues with the ribbon cables up near the shutter … the one on the bottom (closest to the motherboard) has kind of a funky flip down connector. I feel it’s not seating well but it’s very hard to try and push in because the top of the case blocks the ability to push the ribbon cable into the connector. Any tips on getting this one seated correctly?

Hey Gabriel! I don’t believe it’s 100 percent necessary to replace it, I followed Gary Honis’ mod instructions and he recommends replacing it with at least a Baader clear glass filter. I decided to just take the filter out and leave it empty and it’s been fine! It’s recommended that you use some form of UV/IR cut filter to help reduce star bloat and unnecessary wavelengths of light, but if you check my Instagram @kjscosmos my most recent image of NGC 7000 is unfiltered taken on an APO refractor and it’s sharp without the recommended replacement.

Ultimately your images will shift more into the red end of the spectrum. Removing the infrared cut filter give the image a sort of magenta color cast. This color cast can be fixed with post-processing! But it’s worth the extra step to get the rich nebulae emissions that would otherwise appear a very faint pink. Galaxies are my personal favorite, no need to worry your galaxy images will ultimately appear more dynamic with the right processing!

Just figured out what was the issue. I damaged the small connector behind the mainboard since it was really difficult to handle without removing the top case. For anyone who wants to do this mod i really suggest to remove also the top case of the camera (there is a wonderful super fast tutorial from ifixit) to have more space to handle better the connector behind the mainboard and check all the connections. Now everything works perfectly. Just one thing: I used your method to take note of the sensor position but the focus is still a little nearer I'm doing several test to find the correct position, is there a way to do it without disassemble everything all the times, take pics and then check? and also, is it possible that the focus location is slightly different without the LPF?
@crateer
@crateer Жыл бұрын
@@FilippoCurtiAstro regarding your last question, yes, the focus point changes slightly when removing the lpf2 filter. Easiest solution would be to get a clip-in filter for the camera (many people reported that it works for them) Second options would be to replace the stock lpf2 filter with clear glass of the same thickness to regain the focus point you had pre-modifying. Or third option, if you don't want to spend any more money, and that's obviously a bit more tricky and takes time: you could adjust the sensor Position itself.. you could try it as you have your markings and measurements of the stock-position, so you shouldn't be able to mess the positioning up completely, and if you do, you know where you had it working before :) Basically, get the sensor closer to the lens to regain the ability to get infinity focus. Just make sure to adjust the screws evenly! Question back to you: you said you damaged the connector behind the Mainboard, how did you fix it?

Oh no! Yes the best thing to do is really double check you have all connections firmly seated in their respective areas. It’s easy to leave one halfway in, the ribbon cables especially. Don’t forget the traditional connectors as well there are a few of those that need to be plugged back in. It may help to pause the video at certain points to get a look at what connections go where. Good luck friend!

Well done but no real time. Had to view another video (T4i) to help me to finish the job.

Hey there, this video wasn’t necessarily created to help people with Astro-modding a T4i. It is specifically made for anyone with a T3i, because that’s what I own.

02/24/22. Just did the mod. 1st x Turned On out of focus. 2nd x. SD Card wouldn’t read. Really…. 3rd x f#@ing thing won’t turn on. This mod really isn’t all that hard. Not at all.

Astro-mod: - Remove IR-Filter. Full-Spectrum mod: - Remove IR-Filter. Can someone people tell me the difference? I don't get what exactly is a Astro mod and what a full spectrum mod.

Haha, I filmed the entire process from start to finish. If you don't feel comfortable using this video to aid in a modification, that's totally fine! Don't do it.
