Hi Khufu.
I am no expert but I think you will at least need to put a piece of glass of the same thickness, and possibly refractive index? I think I read about this in some detail on one of Roger Cicala's (lens rentals) posts. I have a feeling it was one about the machinery they recently bought for testing lenses. I also watched a video ages ago about removing the filter and thing there was something about it there too. I think that one was about a 300D.
Cheers, Graham.

I've lots to learn but I really, really want to! I've been threatening to convert my EOS M to Full Spectrum for a little while, thinking I might give it a go myself, having seen some online deconstructions etc, but I'm no expert on these things.
I love the idea of going FF/FullSpectrum like you have with the 6D, cazza132, your results are wonderful... but I think I'll start with the EOS MIs yours a total filter-removal job, and is this the preferred way for Astro-'togs? I'm aware there are various filter replacements with different frequency ranges for different results but if there's no reason to replace one bookend with another I'll be happy to go properly Full-Spec and filterless!
Also any advice on where to start with the essentials (tracking equipment etc? Software?), as direct advice or respected online resources worth reading through, would be super appreciated! I'll start with the rest of this thread, from the beginning, and take notes
Happy shooting, everyone!

3 minutes exposures, iso-1250 f3.2
Beautiful. Ok, if you're tracking the stars how come the foreground isn't trailed? Is it a separate exposure for the foreground layered onto the sky shot?
YES absolutly, tracking for stars, and another shot with no tracking for the ground, both blended with photoshop

What are the red lights in the background, almost looks like an airfield, but then again doesn't?
Halley VI Research Station, Antarctica. Taken on a foggy morning with a fair bit of light pollution for here as a result. Samyang 14mm 8 seconds @ ISO 3200

Best shot from a recent trip up to The Pinnacles Desert in Western Australia.
Small and Large Magellanic Clouds on the left, Mars and Saturn are below the galactic core just left of centre. Light glow from a small town called Cervantes on the far right...lights on the left are from a Tronox titanium mine near the town of Cataby.
Shot with a Canon 6D and Samyang 24mm f/1.4. Aperture was wide open at 1.4, shutter speed was 20s and ISO was 3200.
This was a 60-shot panorama (10 wide x 6 high) stitched together in PTgui Pro. I don't have a panoramic head for the tripod (yet!), so the rotation/panning was done manually.

I've been lurking on this forum for at least the last few years. I always enjoy the images posted and techniques shared. This was/is my first attempt to shoot the milky way. The noise is high because I had to boost the ISO using a slow a 17-40 f4. I couldn't get the milky way that great on the moving cruise ship because they were playing a movie on the main deck and thats the blue light kind of covering it. I did luck up and get a lightning strike though. Not amazing like stuff I've seen here, but I wanted to share anyway.
