The Canon EOS 760Da, modified for astrophotography, features a significantly increased H-Alpha sensitivity compared to the original model. This allows it to capture approximately four times more H-Alpha light than a standard DSLR camera.
This allows the camera to capture significantly more H-Alpha light and is perfectly suited for photographing diffuse nebula structures, red hydrogen nebulae, and faint emission regions of the night sky.
Compared to an unmodified camera, significantly shorter exposure times are possible. In a single clear night, many more individual images can be captured, which can later be used for the stacking process. At the same time, more light reaches the sensor during the same exposure time, revealing fine nebula details and faint deep-sky structures that often remain hidden with a standard camera.
The modification makes this camera ideal for deep-sky imaging, Milky Way photography, and long-exposure astronomy. It is the ideal camera for ambitious astrophotographers who want to create detailed and low-noise images of the night sky.
The conversion of this camera was carried out in our specialized workshops by experienced photo specialists with many years of experience in astronomical camera modifications, as well as camera and lens repairs. Since 2012, we have converted well over 1,000 cameras for astro and full-spectrum photography in our workshops. Our experience and the precise execution make every converted camera a high-quality tool for demanding astrophotography. This camera has been carefully adjusted so that autofocus, infinity focus, and sensor function remain reliably intact.
You will receive a professionally optimized astro camera with which red nebular structures of the night sky finally become visible.

Canon EOS 760Da – Special Features
The Canon EOS 760Da impresses with its particularly compact and lightweight design, making it ideal for mobile astrophotography and smaller telescope setups. Weighing just 565 g, it puts less strain on mounts than larger DSLR models. The Canon EOS 760D features a modern 24.2-megapixel sensor with high detail resolution and improved noise behavior. The modern DIGIC 6 processor also ensures very good low-light performance for astronomical long exposures. Particularly practical for astrophotography is the vari-angle display, which allows comfortable work at the telescope without having to awkwardly bend under the camera. This makes the EOS 760Da excellently suited for astronomical shots in difficult positions. Thanks to the touchscreen, focus point, zoom view, and menus can be operated particularly easily—a major advantage for night shots and precise focusing on stars. Thanks to integrated Wi-Fi, the Canon EOS 760D can be comfortably controlled wirelessly via smartphone or tablet—ideal for vibration-free long exposures in astrophotography. LiveView, focus, and shutter release can be comfortably controlled remotely. The additional shoulder display and control dial on the back make operating the camera much easier. At the same time, the EOS 760Da is one of the most affordable entry-level cameras for deep-sky astrophotography.
In the exploded view, item No. 2 shows the IR/UV blocking filter, which is removed during modification, thereby increasing the H-Alpha sensitivity (hydrogen line at 656 nm) by a factor of 4 (the sulfur line SII at 672 nm even by 7 times).
With kind permission from Bill Claff (photonstophotos.net), the Input-Referred Read Noise chart objectively compares the sensor noise of different camera models under low-light conditions: the lower the noise, the cleaner the astro images can be. In the image, you can see the values of our modified Canon compared to other models.

Technical Note
In astro-modified cameras, autofocus and infinity focus continue to work as in a standard model. The sensor (3) is protected by the top filter (1), and the sensor cleaning system remains functional.
This camera can even be used for daylight shots. The package includes an OWB (Original White Balance) clip filter for Canon EF lenses, which allows for natural color reproduction similar to an unmodified Canon camera. The filter holder contains the UV/IR blocking filter (2), which was previously removed during modification. Canon EF-S lenses are not compatible with this filter holder due to their design, as they protrude too far into the camera body, but Canon EF lenses and numerous third-party lenses such as Sigma, Tamron, or Samyang can still be used.

Condition / Warranty / Legal Information
The camera is in good optical condition and technically 100% flawless. The latest firmware has been installed. We offer a 2-year warranty on this camera.
The displayed photos are examples. We do not use retouched product photos; these show real devices from our stock. Cleanliness and a well-maintained optical condition are important to us. Therefore, every camera is cleaned after modification. Although these are used cameras, many of our customers are positively surprised by their optical condition, which is reflected in the reviews.
Sale according to §25a UStG (differential taxation). Therefore, it is not possible to separately itemize VAT on the invoice.
