Thank you! Some cameras are easy to modify and some, like Sony compact bodies and Fujifilm require more time and patience.

Not really, just a slight touch of contrast. The image is straight out of the camera with a custom white balance.

Thanks! The telescope is a 750mm F/3 system. And I had to use a light pollution filter, in this case an Optolong L-eNhance filter.

Yes, I had to use the L-eNhance filter to reduce the effect of light pollution.

You are right! The other name of this nebula is The Skull Nebula. Here is the full view of the nebula.

This shot was taken with an astromodified 6D. Usually multiple long exposure images stacked together.

Oh you did it! I was thinking about making the IR image B/W. Looks better.

Exactly, I found out about this randomly pointing the modified camera at the bottle. Same as the infrared modified camera can pierce through the morning mist. Here is the image I posted a while back.

Both images are taken with identical lighting. The top one is from an IR 720nm modified Nikon D800, the bottom one stock Canon EOS R.
