[Canon EOS 60Da] DSLR exclusively dedicated to astrophotography

Canon has always been anxious to meet the needs of amateur astronomers, providing in 2005 a variant of the 20D camera for observing the night sky. History repeats itself, and today the company announced the imminent commercialization of the EOS 60Da DSLR , a version of the powerful reflex whose use is exclusively oriented towards the "exploration" of the heavenly bodies.

The room has used a infrared filter which triples the transmission of light at a wavelength of hydrogen, allowing you to capture the effects of "red emission of hydrogen" such as the Rosette nebula and the horse's head. Which is impossible with the normal DSLR that mount normal IR filters set up to the human eye and block similar wavelengths displayed by 60Da.Canon does not recommend it in fact a traditional use.

Many specifications do not change, however, compared to the 60D, showing the same 18 megapixel sensor , an ISO range up to 6400 and the same 3-inch LCD and a resolution of 1.04 million dots. Availability is expected soon within this month at a price of $ 1500 .
