Except for the missing HII the color looks very good on this one. So
you have two 40D camera bodies -- one modified?

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Excellent! You need about 10 more to smooth out the grit and a little Ha to
punch up the reds.

Rick,

Yes, I have one of each. I take so many wildlife images that I did
not want to put that much wear on the modified 40D.

Robert, now that is interesting. Very good result for 20 minutes. Of course
the HII regions don't look as good as with a modified camera, but better
than I expected. And overall colour looks better than in both versions you
posted with the modified camera.
Did you get yourself a second 40D or did you lend it?
