Canon 300D Modification Complete!!

Thats a generous offer Dave, I look forward to seeing the instructions
but what about these 0.1mm spacers, where did you get these?

Oh yes forgot about those. I cut them from a 'feeler guage' I bought in halfords for 2.99! You know the ones car mechanics use to measure the gap between engine blocks etc. They have fingers of verious thicknesses including 0.1mm! I cut the finger with a scissors, taped it to a piece of wood and drilled three holes in it. I then cut out three washer shaped spacers with the scissors and inserted them as I was reinstalling the CMOS assembly.

Dave, thats a clever idea, I was racking the old brain cells trying to think where you could get 0.1mm spacers. :lol:

A more detailed report on the mod with some photos is here;

Very interesting report Dave! I look forward to a few clear skies and seing updated photos so that we can get comparitive photos. Thanks for taking the time to prepare that report.
Clear skies,

I was thinking of doing the mod soon, but then I was thinking I need the cameras as is for the eclipse in march, as I dont have a IR filter I can put over the scope. I'll be using the camera at the prime focus of a refractor.
They're will be enough things to contend with on the eclipse without having to worry about custom white balances.
