An Astro-Conversion is not the same as a normal IR conversion. All Astro-Conversions performed by Spencer's Camera & Photo include modifications and improvements specific to each camera model. These improvements have been developed after many hours of testing with each camera model in the field and the controlled environment of our conversion shop. Some of the modifications and improvements made during an Astro-Conversion include increased static control, dampening of many moving parts and added light absorbing material for control of unwanted reflective light. Also, you have the added option of our imaging sensor heat reduction system that can be installed in most camera models. (More Information on our Heat Reduction System Page - Heat Reduction System) Our heat reduction system was developed well before performing the astroconversion for NASA but was significantly improved during the NASA conversion testing phases. None of the improvements mentioned above will negatively affect the performance or power usage of the camera in any way.

NEW!!! We now offer installation of a Light Pollution filter as an internal filter option, as well as an on-lens option. This filter has many benefits, including more accurate colors, improved contrast, and improved overall sharpness and clarity, even in none light polluted areas. These benefits are even more obvious in light polluted environments. More Information found here: Light Pollution Filters.
The internal sensor dust reduction/cleaning system of the camera is normally removed during the conversions but can be reinstalled. This option can be selected within the filter options selections below.
(Our Visible + H-Alpha filter option is similar to the filter used in the Canon EOS 60Da but provides even higher sensitivity to the H-Alpha spectrum.)
More info about our AA filter removal service: AA Filter Removal Service. The AA filter removal service can be added to any conversion or camera order here: AA Filter Removal Service Ordering Page.
We are able to convert virtually any Canon SLR camera model. If your model is not listed below please email (info@spencerscamera.com) to see if we can perform the conversion. Also, here's our recommended camera list for astrophotography cameras: Recommended Astro-Photography Cameras.

(Some Canon RF mount lenses produce an internal Infrared Light as part of the autofocus system that may "bleed" onto your images after an IR or Astro modification has been performed, making the camera much more sensitive to infrared light. This "light bleed" will only affect images captured at high ISO settings and long shutter speeds. Please contact us with questions and sollutions to this issue. This does not affect EF mount lenses when using the Canon RF to EF lens adaptor.)
