I also own the Canon 6D and I absolutely love it for astrophotography, especially when combined with my Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art lens. Although I consider myself a novice in astrophotography, I have taken some amazing shots over the past two years, including a selfie with the Milky Way, shining my torch vertically upwards on top of Moel Arthur, Wales!
Sounds amazing is there anywhere i can see that picture?
Post the link or insta
I think I’ll be the judge of that! Pics?
Excellent video, Alyn! I would add this. The best "price:performance" dslr/mirrorless camera to use for astrophotography is the one you've already got!
You recommended this camera to me back in 2020 and i havent been disappointed man, thank you!
Glad to know there is someone talking about a camera that is not Sony
The other nice thing about EF mount is that it is just larger enough than other mounts that, if you're content using manual focus lenses, you can get inexpensive, very low profile mount adapter rings to use lenses from other mount types, and it doesn't distort the image or affect infinity focus. I have a Canon 1300D and a Nikon D600, and I can easily adapt all my manual Nikon lenses, so I kept only a small handful of my Canon lenses when I bought the Nikon. Most of my lenses are the Samyang/Rokinon.
My brother had a 6D MkI fall into his lap a few months ago, and he's been very pleased with it. He'll be even more pleased after he sees this video.
One thing we can all agree is that Canon cameras really withstand the test of time! Amazing video as always Alyn!
Yeah, I have the Canon 50D and 6D - and I'm always amazed how good they still are, even after over a decade of use.
This is so helpful great video
What a timely video. Tonight's (May 16, 2022) blood moon eclipse finally pushed me to start looking for a good camera to get started in astrophotography.
Happy Christmas Alyn. Thanks for showing me more of the sky than i can see 💛
Very helpful video Thankyou! I don’t have a 6D however I did just pick up a 5D mkii with only 10000 on the shutter count it was a steal. Had been shooting astrophotography on my 70D before hand, but always wanted full frame. I’ve not used the 5D mkii for astrophotography yet, however with the low light I have done, it absolutely blows the 70D out of the park. The colours are also absolutely beautiful. So I am super excited to see how the astrophotography pictures turn out.
Great video - I dread to think how many frames I have taken with my modified 6D that I picked up about 18 months ago. I use it with widefield lenses and attached to the back of telescopes. It's a reliable workhorse. The only down side is the non-flip out screen and the dreadfully slow wifi. I use Magic Lantern to give me an in camera intervalometer which makes it so convenient for travel astrophotography.
I have a Canon 6D and I can confirm that it's a very good camera both for astro, landscape and portrait photography. And it's not as heavy as many full frame camera except mirrorless. I Use it since 2015 and I don't consider being a new one.
You are making nice videos. Love you bro ❤️❤️❤️
I got TWO CANON 6D..
One have modified for Astro photography. Another is stock.
One is Sony a7S..
Latest is Sony a7iii.
Love all the camera I had.
Excellent presentation. Very well done. Beautifully explained. Thank you !
Have to agree 100% on the 6D. I still have it and I now also own an R6 and sure - the newer camera is cleaner at higher ISO - but the difference is not THAT big. I still use it for timelapse and stills, while filming and vlogging with the R6.
Awesome vid mate 👍
Great video. When is was getting into astrophotography I got the 6D mkii when it came out and wished I'd gotten the mki quickly after that.
It is now my timelapse camera and my main camera is the a7iii and I've gotten some good shots and some crackers, both astro and daylight.
You're bang on right about Sony's fast primes, I've got the 14mm GM and 24mm GM and together they weigh less than my Samyang 14mm f2.4 that lives on my 6D mkii.
The biggest thing though has been getting out and shooting when I can between work, clouds and full moons the opportunities have been limited.
By the way, is there any chance that you could make this month's WITNS subject clouds. I might stand a chance of getting a shot of those.
Still using my 6d (although very rarely) still a more than capable camera can be picked up relatively cheap now too 👍🏼
Great indept video, Alyn!
Its a superb camera ibought one after watching your vlogs, i mainly use the xt3 but for the nightsky the 6D comes with me everytime 👍
Have one myself. Absolutely love it!!!
Thank you - wow inspiring - will check this out - I use the Canon 650 D and am pleased with the results [un-modified]
Just got one last week and opted for the 50mm f1.4 to start astrophotography on, I also have a 5dsr which is a beast, however, the 6d seems better in low light!
Great vid as always Alyn! The 6D was absolutely a gateway drug for me as well and I am happy to see you still vouching for it. The only other option I feel like that comes close is the Nikon D600 which benefits from ISO invariance, but at least here in the US the 6D’s are just easier to find. It’s just one of those ancient ol astro gems!
They are a joy to use, so much nicer than Sony but so much bulkier
I don't have great skies where I am in New England, but was able to get the astrophotography bug on a trip up Mauna Kea in Hawai'i back in September. Took some great shots(for this n00b) on my RP. I just traded that in for an R6, but do still have my 6D handy and I have seen this is a great astro camera. Looks like I'll be doing the mod...
Thank you so much I wanted to upgrade my Sony hx60v and looking for a good camera but for a decent price and this honestly is amazing for me thank you!
Wow! Fantastic informative and great you showcase other amazing artists, like yourself. Thanks and happy Xmas. Best regards Alan (me)
Super informative as always Alyn. I'm a Sony shooter too, but man the 6D just punches so far above its weight for astro. You didn't even get to awesome mods such as Magic Lantern or Backyard EOS. All about right tool for the job, which as you say is just so subjective.
HA!!! I happen to have the 6D mark I. I have been shooting with my 6D mark II and the 6d mark I is my 2nd wedding camera. I will have to now make it my primary night sky camera for my next Astro Photo adventure. Maybe I'll take both so I can compare. Very cool and great news! I'm still a bit of a beginner at astro photography. You mentioned a few other things I didn't know about so I can't wait to check out those videos too. Thank you so much for sharing your skills and knowledge Alyn. You are always my go to Astro guy!
Hi, can you give your evaluation on 6d I vs ii for astrophotography? I like the touch screen but don't want to sacrifice image quality. Thank you.
Spot on answer, still using my 6d, been dropped, dragged, been in silly minus temps and still churns out pics like it was new, thing is built like a tank lol, match it with any Samsung lens and you've got a bloody good combo, my preference is the 35mm f1. 4, rarely off it... Also got the A7iii which again is a beast of a camera, but has its issues mainly with the menu system, no where near as easy as Canon, also still got A7s as a back up 🤣 But Canon for both day and night pics really can't be best.
Amazing video, thank you!
I use a fuji xt100 HA moded camera. Love it to bits and it performs great. and as it’s an old camera the sensor doesn’t produce a lot of noise. My question is, will a camera like 6D still out perform what I have because of it’s bigger sensor and pixel size?
Thank you for sharing this video about the Canon 6D @alyn. I'm glad I got my own Canon 6D for Christmas this year🙏❤️
Very interesting and informative video 👍🏼
Thanks for the information.
I actually have a 6D from my last 'photo enthusiast' period and have been wondering whether it is best to use that, or my M6 for an astrophotography dabble. Using existing kit is always the cheapest way.
Still using the Canon 6D, my friends try to rate down this camera every, but i love this old beast. Have a nice christmas!
Greetings from Germany
it's all about the processing skills. Adrian Mauduit takes just, amazing, out of this world images with his. Sure, it's a good camera, but it's like 90% processing techniques. The more people down play the 6D the cheaper they are on ebay ;)
It's always going to be a great camera. New equipment might make things easier and maybe you can churn out better results. But, really, these shots in this vid proves you don't really NEED anything else. Enjoy!
I agree 100% with you. I love my good old 6D !!!
For my canon 60Da I use the Tokina 11-16mm lens. I have the Samyang 14mm manual focus lens for my Sony a7, and a7ii. For my Fujifilm X-30 I use a Samyang 12mm manual focus lens. I have many other scopes, camera and lenses and I enjoy them all up at Mt Rainier Washington State.
I'll try to add some points to the video. One thing I almost left Sony is the they dont protect the sensor until the very new ones just released. Canon starts without it too on RP but since R they do it. And for landscape cleaning the sensor just sucks. On the contrary, Sony had since A7III built-in tool that eliminate the remote control at leas until 30s. This is something that really sucks in all of them. Why just do not leave the user to choose ANY time expsoure and sequence of photos on camera? It is more thing to carry, more batteries which if something goes wrong ruins all the night. Also since the A7III Sony has two memory slots what Canon offers only for high end expensive new models. The new Sony releases also have a flip screen missing on the previously models and it really sucks and frequently requires horrible position to check the liveview. Canon most cheaper cameras offers flip screen many years ago. If I could ask for simple modifications on these cameras I would ask: 1- setting any exposure time and sequence of stills on the camera without remote controls; 2- zoom of more than 10x; 3- double card slots on all models; 4- flip screen on all models; 5- when bracketing file naming should keep the number but add a tag like A,B,C... making easly identified on the computer; 6- creation of astro section definition where you can set after several shots that the camera automatically close the sensor protection and perform a certain number of darks automatically and also naming the files according to the section number.
Alyn .. I agree with 6D conversion option. Meanwhile, I'm also reading lot of reviews about Canon R. What's your suggestion a Modd 6D or Canon R?
One of the biggest problems i have with the canon 5d mii is that the live view and optical viewfinder don't allow enough light or brightness to easily compose the frame. I've heard the miii is much better for astrolandscape photgraphy. Does anybody know if the live view mode with 6d allows for easy viewing in the near dark?
Idk. How serious I want to be in astrophotography but I do want to take some basic pictures in which observed objects are at least recognizable even if in low quality to share with friends and family and have it as a sort of memory trigger when I get older.
Thank you for the video.
Edit: a 6d here is $1499 :(. I am in the 3rd world so there really is a limit to what I can do.
I wish I had known I was going to get hooked to astro when I got a camera - I got possibly the least convenient option - a Nikon D3400 - no option for wired intervalometer and no internal - I had to make my own IR blaster with an arduino and a IR LED which I strap to the front of the camera ....
I had a d3400, had to sell and buy d3300, don't know why nikon did that,..... Stupid, some cameras claim to be upgraded, they're actually less of a camera
Recently Managed to pick up a Canon 6D for £200 with only small scratches which I think was a banging deal.
I have a 5D Mark IV but still love using my 6D for Milky Way shots.
Amazing the 6D is. I love mine. There are a ton of used 6D around. Anyone looking for one, can save now!
Interesting. I'm looking for an astro modified alternative to my RP with EF lenses. Will check out the 6D.
What the heck, was literally wondering yesterday if you had one of these videos, hahaha!
I had the original 5D, and with the 85mm f/1.2 it was a joy to use. I know there are some tinted glasses with the memories, but full frame 13MP was a joy to use.
2:27 what about the bias of the market representativity ? If you have more 6d (because they are older and cheaper), you should divide f(best photo canon 6d) / f(market canon 6d). Having said that, yes the 6d is reknown to be a great budget camera in low light :) . After using so many camera in low light / astro.. I however think your skills and other equipment matter more. If you have a mini tracker to do longer exposure, a camera even simpler than a 6d would do better. Same thing, if you use a f1.8 instead of f2.8, you more than double the exposure time.. But that's the fun of astro, finding a balance with what we have, trying to get better when we understand all the concepts. Side note: I believe my best DSLR for astro was by far D850 (including because of the BSI sensor and the boost in live view that allows one to better see the stars and focus). Happy new year to all and clear skies :)
I bought and justt astro modified my 6d mkii. Looking forward for clear skies!
Which mod did you go for
@@AlynWallace baader mod
That's my camera until it dies 😊 Best regards from Tenerife Allyn! Best regards, Carlos Almagro
Thank you for this I mean I've been looking for a decent camera 📸
Feeling smug as I just bought a 6D, specifically for astrophotography - not had chance to use it my scopes yet (south wales weather !!) , recommened by Dark Sky Wales as best astro DSLR
Bought 2nd hand from MPD for < £500 , shutter count of 6,000 , almost new
Says a great Astrophotographer about great Astrophotographers 🙂👍
I know them all and have communicated as well at fb. Great video and content.
I bought a used Canon 6D, and regardless of the performance, the tech was very old, and the camera was really bulky with too many buttons and less touch screen tech. I really like the Canon SL3 as crop sensor (T7i like but lighter) and Canon EOS RP for full frame mirrorless. Planning to switch to EOS R (now only in used market) with much less low light noise. These are little pricy but take remarkable pics. I've been very happy with them. They lightweight do not put too much stress on my star tracker.
HeyHey!!! That’s still my camera 😊 I love it mate!, I remember few years ago now after my first workshop with you ( I had a d3300 then) After that I bought the 6d and then on my next workshop it was so cloudy we couldn’t shoot anything!lol I was gutted 😞 …I’ve now got the Samyang 14 and 24 plus canon 50. The camera really does shoot beyond it’s price imo.
I’m after a tracker next that can handle a 135 or 200 max… what’s your thoughts? Just go for the star adventurer or a pocket type one?
Hope you have a good Christmas mate 👍🏼
Star adventurer :)
nice review !!!! at 2022 canon 6d mark ii or canon rp for astrophotography ? thank you !!
Lol, not an astro tog but very much a fan of astro and may try sometime. I bought my 6D in 2019 as was looking for FF but didn't like the reviews for the 6D mkii. Actually goes to show the power of the end user when we see how many have modified their 6D's. Canon can we have a 6D type sensor in a new mirrorless body with a version suitable for the astro boys and girls too please???
Thanks Alyn I feel vindicated now for being such a tight wad by holding onto my 6D when I probably should have took a R5 by now, Lol... XD
Those lens recommendations seem quite tasty too!??!
I went on the Internet to find the Canon EOS 60 camera you recommended and the Mark II version was listed. I don't think that is what you are recommending. How do I ensure that I order the correct model?
Is the samyang f/2.8 the one you recommended over the canon samyang 14mm MK2
I tried to look at the 6D on their website but couldn't buy it.
I was looking atbetting the 6d mkii is it worth it.
how much difference is there between the 6d and the 600d?
Noooo Alyn, now the secondhand market for these will go up in price! ;) joking aside, it's really nice. I got one based on Adrien's article in auroralive a few years back and it's my favorite still. so cheap and with a star tracker it kicks ass
😂 sorry
I'm completely new to astrophotography and I don't have the right camera for it. I really want a camera that is good for vlogging where you can see me and the stars in the background decently well together like how well you can see the stars and you together in your vlogs. Will this camera be about the same focus/brightness quality as your vlogs with person/stars combined??? This is my biggest question
Does anybody know if this camera would also be good for wildlife photography?
Best Sony A series for asto/landscape?
But what camera do you use to record yourself under night sky where stars are visible? Sony a7s?
I also think that the best budget camera for astronomy is the Canon 6D, which I have been using since 2015.
I also have a ZWO 178MC but it is not the same quality as Canon.
I am thinking of buying a second CANON 6D body and converting it to a wider spectrum. Alyn where in Europe / UK do you recommend his astro-modification?
And one more question I have to choose and buy a laptop for Astrophotography - you can see a DELL laptop in your video - what do you use? What are the parameters? Thank you in advance for your answer! Greetings from Poland! Regular visitor to your channel for 5 years!
In France, we have the amazing Richard Galli (eos for astro), that do wonderfull and reliable job !
Which mirrorless camera will be good?
Is 1080p ok for video of the milky way?
Thank you.
Can anyone suggest other budget Canon camera for astrophotography?
Sony A7Ra or Sony A7Sa. Which one do you prefer for Milkyway?
Less MP means less noise, but also "bigger" noise in terms of size. I like the higher noise of high MP sensors more, because the grain is more fine.
guess that's true, i am surprised how well the A7R II i got of ebay does. still the 6D modified is my main camera but like you said, the A7R II has 'small noise'. I have only used the A7R II on a tracker for 1 minute exposures, wher e the star eater is present, but not as noticable as on my a7s if i did that in bulb mode
But pulling detail out of Shadows sucks 🤮
That seems like an affordable option for me, I would like a full frame, I currently use nikon, and the nikon d750 which is supposed to be the best nikon full frame for astro, but they cost almost all of my wages, the Canon, could probably do 2/3. Could I use manual nikon lenses with an adapter?
You can yeah :)
@@AlynWallace you may have just provided me with an affordable way to get a full frame camera, won't be for a few months yet, but hopefully in time for mw 2022, thanks Alyn,..... I have 2 of your z and v plates on my omegon star trackers
What about the sony a7s vs the sl2??
I guess I'm just wary of buying second hand, and out here in the nether regions of the world even old full frame cameras go for way too high prices. In my case, I also I want to get into full frame and have more modern features for other than Astro. As of 8/2/23 Canon 6d ii (new) DSLR is $2,377 NZD and the Sony A7 iii mirrorless is $2,548 from big Mall retailers. Seems like Sony is the way better option for someone in my position?
👍👍👏👏👏Still got my 6d and have a the 6dmk 11, am on a budget so won't be buying any a new camera soon,
Hi will look to invest in one. It does filming as well or just photography?..
I guess it would be cheaper in 2024. thanks if you have time to respond
He will never respond now.
He is in a sleep forever😢
R.I.P
I have a Canon 6D. I'v been considering getting it astro-modded and making it my dedicated astro camera. I've taken _so_ many pictures with that thing, but just getting started with astro. I may keep it around as I get into astrophotography. The reality is that _any_ modern dSLR or mirrorless camera can at least do _some_ astrophotography - and should be the _default_ starting point for most wanting to get started. Heck, with the right mount, you could even use a modern smartphone with an existing telescope. Will you get stellar (😁) results? No, but who cares - it's a starting point.
The cheapest camera for astrophotography work is actually the camera you already own. That doesn't mean it will be the _best_ camera except for those starting out.
Where can i get a canon 6D?
everywhe i look i only find the mk2
Second hand market. Try MPB
Hi I have a Nikon D3300 and recently bought a 20mm lens for astrophotography will this work as well? Or is a mirrorless camera the only way to for astrophotography? Thanks.
There is no intrinsèque difference between mirrorless and dslr when it come to astrophotography.
The 6D he talk in the video is not a mirrorless.
You need to go full frame. 3300 is a crop sensor and suffers from having less light being able to be captured on the smaller sensor. It can be done but the results will be poor. I've done it myself on d3400 a while back. I'm using a Z7 now for astro
what do you reckon will be best cheaper camera only for photos (don't care about video)
Canon is the market leader, so yes, it means you will find their gear a lot. Fun fact: in these charts, there’re no fuji camera. What was the brand of the past two years winners? Fuji. APS-C. Small pixels.
Here in the states it would seem that the Nikon D750 is the camera that I see most often, but hats off for the pick. Great video!
That would be my second choice. It has amazing iso invariance which is a bonus but is twice the price of a 6D. The 6D is a real bargain!
@@AlynWallace I'm with D750. I don't think my D750 has iso invariance🙄
@@wildlife351 Nikon D750 is highly iso invariant. It's on the most iso invariant cameras to exist. I think it starts at 200
@@AlynWallace Thanks A Lot!!
I take it you developed your milky way presets on the 6D ? I've got two and thinking of getting a third 🤔
I sourced astro images from as many different cameras as I could to build the presets :)
I tried a 6d years ago but as I have manly man-sized hands and muscular arms it felt like a tiny toy with a horrible jutty out grip. Fine for females or maybe adolescents or the more sickly/frail of frame, but Id recommend something like a Nikon 850D if you’re a fully developed adult male like me!
Alyn where do you get your astro modified sonys from ?
A company that no longer exists :(
Absolutely agree with you. I have two 6D, one astro modified. You just forgot to mention the great reliability. I also do time lapses with it and one already has a shutter count of 250k.
another neat thing I learned this week, apparently the shutter count rating is only a rating where the shutter is gaurenteed to provide a certain level of accuracy, like say, 1/4000th of a second will be a certain degree close to 1/4000th of a second every time UNTIL that rating, then it may start to vary more. Meaning, these things can EASILY get up in the 200s and 400s of thousands of shutter counts. And for astro, who cares if the shutter is 0.5 seconds off of what you set it to? 60 seconds vs 60.5 doesn't matter to us
@@kalef1234 agree
I have a 6D with some serious hot pixel issues. If I were to get this Astro-modified, would they still be there?
Yes. Replacing the filter doesn't solve this.

nice
3:57 - The bigger sensor IS the largest reason. Your second point can easily be tested. Place the FX lens on the crop and a full frame camera of equal level (entry, mid or high price range being equal; ie; entry level crop to entry level fx) and you'll see a MAJOR difference once you take those photos into lightroom. You'll see you'll have MASSIVE amounts more data in the images, with the sliders easily blowing out the image quickly with very low range of processing and the sliders having a massive range due to the increased image data, shooting the exact same lens. I know. I started with a crop body (Nikon d3400 entry level crop) and upgraded to a FX body, Nikon d610, entry level full frame) and moved up to a full frame keeping the same full frame lens. The difference was HUGE! HUGE! HUGE! So much so, I wish I simply started with the FX. Don't even mess with a crop unless you're doing deep space. For landscape they simply can't compete. Not even in the same ballpark. Sensor size beats crop to fx lens. I used a crop lens also on the crop body it got nearly the fx lens results on it. So close in fact, I wouldn't have bothered springing for the FX lens until I got the FX body if I had to do it again. The test is quick and easy if you can borrow a crop body and stick your full frame lens on it. You'll see it wont even come close. That big sensor is the BOSS when it comes to low light. Therefore I have to respectfully disagree with the larger sensor only being a small part of the story. My first hand experience shows me it's the major part of that story.
just put that D5600 on a star tracker then it isn't so bad. granted you can do that with FF too, but I'm just saying I'd rather have a 60D on a star adventurer than a sony A7 III limited to 20 seconds or less
@@kalef1234 Yeah, things become much different of course when you involve a tracker.
The test is unfair and doesn't conclude that the size of the sensor is the factor. The reason you saw those results will be because the pixel width of the pixels on the full frame was wider and there was more room to space the pixels out. The only way to perform that test fairly is to use the same lens on a full frame camera and crop sensor camera that have the same pixel width for each pixel. Such that when you crop the full frame image by 0.66x it has the same amount of pixels as the image as the crop sensor image. I'll link an article below
clarkvision.com/articles/does.pixel.size.matter/#SameLens
@@AlynWallace OK, so the reason as to why the larger sensor performs better in low light compared to the smaller sensor isn't so much because its size reflects more light as it is that it holds more pixels, therefore produces more information in a photo.
While selecting a camera, crop vs full frame, the exact reason doesn't need to be known, so long as it is known, that a larger sensor will produce much higher quality photos than a crop sensor can, while using a full frame lens.
I wasn't really arguing the reason as to why it's the case, so much as I was that it IS the case, and the lens crop vs fx will in fact be a much smaller factor than it will be between a crop and fx body. As I found out firsthand when using a Rokinon 24mm F1.4 on both a D3400 crop and a D610 FX body. The photo quality was simply not even comparable, even though I kept the same exact FX lens.
Main point is, in my (however limited, with only one crop and one full frame body experiment) crop to full frame, blew lens difference out of the water. With a crop lens, producing near same quality on the crop camera as the fx lens did on it.
In my limited experience between crop and full, shooting nightscapes, the large part of the story was a larger sensor drastically improved the quality of my photos, probably 10x the difference between keeping a dx lens on or using a fx lens.
If there are high end crop sensor cameras with the same or near pixel count, resulting in the same data being recorded in the photo as full frame, it's probably more expensive than a nice used pro fx body anyway though, right?
Yup. Canon 6D with the Rokinon/Samyang 14mm 2.8 old manual lens is the best bang for buck for astro hands down
Been scrolling thru yt and never seen one video how to start and shoot them skies
What about APS-C alternatives, wich one is the best option on this category?
I'm not going to lie, the 6D is under $500 on ebay. I would get that over any APS-C camera. It's cheaper than a new Rebel T7i or whatever and that's incredible. BUT if you were going to use a star tracker and get 1 to 2 minute exposures, then any canon/nikon APS-C dslr is a great choice. The 60D on a tracker will probably do really well since those are like $250
There's no standout option AFAIK. Perhaps the Sony A6000
None of them because APSC are pants for astro. Not enough light can hit the sensor at reasonable ISO and then at high ISO the image will just look a mess
Congratulations for another video full of good information.
Alyn regarding Astro transformation I followed his advice based on his experience with JTW Astronomy , send a Nikon d800 camera in the first days of March this year and after exchanging more than fifty emails with Srº Mark from JTW Astronomy , he sent the camera back, without the astromodification and refund me the astromodification payment, only in the middle of November,
I do not recommend the JTW service to anyone.
I'm still looking for someone to do Astromodification of cameras in Europe, because I live in Europe in Portugal, if you know who works well in astromodification in Europe, let this follower know.
Alyn Wallace has no responsibility for non-compliance with a provision of service provided by JTW Astronomy
A Merry Galactic Christmas Alyn and everyone
I've already updated the description of the astro modified video mentioning that I no longer endorse them. Heard too many similar stories to this.
@@AlynWallace Alyn do you know of any house in the UK or another country in Europe that does Astromodification ??
Hope to see you soon in your next Video, until then Merry Christmas and an Excellent New Year full of Many Stars
