I bought this camera second hands with the intention to "mod" it for astrophotography, which is something about changing the internal UV/IR cut filter on top of the sensor and replace it with a more IR tolerating piece of glass, in order to capture more Ha data, which is closer to Infrared light frequencies. I haven't performed any changes on my sensor yet, as I am enjoying the camera as it is at the moment, but I plan to perform it by myself. I will write a specific blog post about it when the time comes. I will test it on some proper tube and I am sure it will perform well, as it is extremely sensitive already with the cheapest lens available.

The ASI2600MC is a beast with the manners of a princess. What a lovely camera this is! It is obviously my main imaging camera and I am not thinking about replacing it with any other camera at all. Not even with the bigger and better ASI6200, as I already have difficulties with processing the massive amount of data this gentle beast can collect.
It is a beast, because it can ruthlessly eat up any subject you provide it with. It is gentle, because it can slowly capture even the faintest photon, while everybody else is asleep.
