Astro6D is a cooling modified Canon EOS 6D.
Up until now we have used two methods to modify Canon DSLR’s to a cooled configuration.
The first is to insert a cooling module into the camera body, whilst the other is a reconfiguration of the camera system, as in the case of CDS-5D.
The inner space of the 6D and A7s is so tight that we have introduced a new modification concept for these cameras.
At last we launched the upgraded CDS-600D with new design as the name of CDS-600D II and CDS-600D II Pro with more powerful cooling.
Drop-In filter holder for 2 inch astronomical filters is equipped in these cameras.
Generally color image sensor is arranged as the pattern of RGBG 2×2 pixels color filter array, It can make the color images through 1 shot exposure but the large amount of light were blocked by color filters on CMOS and color processing algorithm produce false colors. The optical low pass filter to prevent false color on color image sensor makes lower resolutions to output image.
In low light photography field B/W sensor with high QE and low noise is most valid device for higher resolution image. Read more
