What does the modification get you? Do you have a website with images taken
with your unmodified camera?

Unmodified, 2 year old Canon 300D's can now be had for $400 or so.

I know, I just sold one.

Keep an eye on Astromart.

For black and white, you can simply greyscale the image.

After pondering the vaious Astro-photo options, I've decided the easiest
way to get what I'm after is buy a reasonable DSLR camera. I want good
results but am not looking for Hubble Quality. In fact, I really don't
even want color images---I want BW images but with some detail. I will
do a lot of lunar work, some solar too. I would like to capture DSOs as
they appear in the eyepiece with a decent telescope---and perhaps a
better but color is not important. Oh sure, I might occasionally play
with color but really color is not important. The reason for DSLR is
that I do not want to drag a laptop outside and all that is attendant
with that mess. I now have a GM-8---the tracking is excellent. Can you
point me to website with some BW examples?

So---is there a DSLR that would achieve this without costing over $1,000
and not needing to be modified? Minolta would be great as I have a TON
of Minolta stuff---all film.

Thanks for the help,

Doink
