In this post, I’ll share my personal results using the Canon Xsi DSLR for astrophotography, and give you my recommendations for a beginner DSLR camera. The modification that was made to this camera is known as the “full spectrum modification”, which involved removing the stock IR cut filter inside the camera body.Īlthough there are many choices to consider when it comes to choosing a camera for astrophotography, an entry-level Canon Rebel series DSLR offers a unique combination of value and performance. I eventually upgraded my DSLR camera to a (slightly) newer Canon EOS Rebel T3i ( 600D), and it came pre-modified for astrophotography.

The Milky Way captured with a Canon Rebel T3i on a SkyTracker Pro Mount Astrophotography with a Canon Rebel DSLR My Canon Rebel DSLR’s continue to produce amazing images, and they are one of the best ways to get started in the hobby. I’ve used many types of cameras for astrophotography from monochrome CMOS imaging cameras to cooled one-shot-color models. You can also use this camera with fantastic camera lenses such as the Rokinon 14mm F/2.8 for wide-angle nightscapes and Milky Way photography.
Even though the production of this camera was discontinued many years ago, I still use and enjoy this camera today.Ī DSLR camera like the Canon Rebel 450D is a versatile choice as it can easily be attached to a telescope for deep sky imaging using a T-Ring and adapter. The very first camera I used for astrophotography was an old Canon Rebel Xsi (450D) DSLR.
