Here's my first image with an astromodified DSLR. I picked up a second hand Canon 600D a couple of months ago and here's my first image - we had two clear nights in August so it's taken a while to get a few hours on this target!
This is 6 hours total integration, consisting of 5 minute single exposures.
Telescope: William Optics Zenithstar 73
Mount: Sky-Watcher HEQ5 Pro Rowan Belt Mod
Autoguiding Scope: Starwave 50mm Guidescope
Autoguiding Camera: ZWO ASI 120MM Mini
Camera: Canon 600D Astromodified
Optolong L-eNhance Dual Narrowband Filter
The Heart Nebula is in the constellation Cassiopeia, and is 6000 Light Years from Earth. Clouds of ionised hydrogen make up the Nebula.
Also a video featuring this image on my channel where I plate solve to find targets:
