Astrophotos taken with CCD and DSLR cameras:

Since the late summer I have been working with a Canon 10D DSLR that I eventually modified. I have been learning a lot about the system.  Modifying the camera to be more sensitive to h-alpha light is the way to go for astrophotography.  I also have taken a few shots with various borrowed CCD cameras.
