Astrophotography modified Canon 6D 20MP DSLR camera body.
Canon EOS 6D, used in very good condition. Only small signs of use as shown in photos. 10918 shots.
Camera never dropped on the floor, in the seabed or in an active volcano!
Extras: Battery, 3rd party USB charger and SD card.
Only camera body (no lens) and the above extras included.
A few details about the conversion:
Astrophotography modification.
After the conversion, your camera will be suitable for Astrophotography (and Daylight photography with an extra filter).
Only the colour filter (Lpf2) is removed. UV/IR cut filter (Lpf1 - piezoelectric filter) is retained so the auto dust cleaning mechanism will be available after the conversion. It can be used for RGB astrophotography without any extra filters. An extra filter can be used depending on specific shooting conditions and/or applications (e.g. H-Alpha and/or light pollution filters).
Auto focus with any lens is guaranteed as the camera sensor is recalibrated.

Auto focus. Camera changes and limitations.
Most lenses available, are tuned to capture visible light. Other lights, for example Infrared is longer in wavelength than visible light and focuses differently so you may even notice that in a zoom lens, Viewfinder autofocus is accurate in a focal length and a bit off in another. The recommended way to use (auto)focus is via Live View. In most cases, autofocus via the Viewfinder will work fine but it may be a bit off, depending on the lens and the settings. In typical landscape photography with a closed aperture (e.g. f/11) I expect that Viewfinder autofocus will work fine but for example in portrait photography with a fast lens wide open (e.g. f/1.8) I would use the Live View to focus.
Autofocus in Astrophotography is irrelevant as for astro we only focus manually.
