The Canon 60Da will be available this month and cost $1499.99.
Canon has just announced the long-awaited (6 years!) successor to its legendary 20Da astro cam: the 60Da, which, like its predecessor, is a standard 60D except for its enhanced sensitivity to the hydrogen alpha wavelengths, which make it, hands-down, better than any standard dSLR for capturing the brilliant reds common to deep sky objects.

Hi. Not in direct relation with this [useful] article, the Examiner website referred here advertises for the JustAnswer service which I nearly used for details on the Canon 60Da, before realizing it could be apparently a massive scam.
