Full Spectrum DSLR Canon EOS 60D Camera Body - Used

Overview

Mid-level and unexpensive DSLR camera professionally converted for unlocked Full Spectrum sensitivity to ultraviolet and infrared light and increased 4X H-alpha nebulae emission sensitivity and 6X Sulfur II nebulae emission sensitivity. 

Condition: Used excellent condition body with minor signs of cosmetic wear and shutter count below 30K. 

Astronomik MC Clear Glass

Both Low Pass Filter with self-cleaning feature and the original UV/IR blocking bluish filter are replaced by the non-detachable Astronomik clear glass with Anti-Reflective coatings, which is permanently installed in front of the sensor. With the Low Pass Anti-Aliasing Filter removed, the Camera Sensor performs at native maximum sharpness. The Pentaprism/Pentamirror mode autofocus and focus to infinity with lenses of this Full Spectrum converted DSLR camera will work as the regular stock version. 

Daylight Infrared photography with a Full Spectrum converted camera

When the digital camera sensor becomes sensitive to ultraviolet and infrared light after the Full Spectrum conversion, specific infrared band pass isolating filters can be used as camera lens filters or camera body clip filters. Infrared filters with different wavelengths are suitable to create artistic expressions with altered color tones or dramatic contrast effects with black and white images produced by deeper infrared filters.

Astrophotography with a Full Spectrum converted camera

The Full Spectrum modification is the best conversion for planetary astrophotography because the usability of infrared isolating filters like the Astronomik ProPlanet 742 IR-pass and 807 IR-pass . The infrared wavelength is significantly less susceptible to poor seeing (atmospheric turbulences) and consequently the resulting images are considerably sharper. Expert planetary imagers process planets photos with images taken with single line infrared filters as a luminance channel.

Regular photography with a Full Spectrum converted camera

For daylight or regular photography an additional UV/IR block or Original White Balance filter is required. The Astronomik L-2 and OWB Clip filters can be used to correct White Balance (Subject to lens and camera model compatibility). Clip filters can be used with Canon EF Lenses (EF-S Lenses are not compatible with clip in filters).

**Out of focus Infrared: An additional UV/IR cut filter is required to capture the pictures in visible light. This filter is a must when imaging with telescopes using refractive elements (refractors, catadioptrics, reducers/flatteners, coma correctors, etc.) If light frames are captured without an UV/IR blocking filter you will get bloated stars, because UV and IR light rays focus on a different distance from the visible light focal plane. A luminance filter, or any narrowband filter will cut off ultraviolet and infrared Wavelengths. With a Ritchey-Chretien Telescope and no flattener/reducer there is no need of an additional UV/IR Blocking filter.
