Hi so I’ve just started astrophotography and I’m looking for a used dslr to start off with deep sky. I found a canon eos 40d for £64. Which other ones would you recommend looking for?

The 40d is way too old, try to find one that's not older than 10~ years

Ok like what?

#

The 4000D/T3i is often suggested, otherwise the 1000 series is also good

#

You can also check what cameras the people on #🤩-show-us-your-rig and #deep_space_pics are using

2000D / T7 is good too

You may have already picked up a DSLR, but here's a few images I've aquired using a 15 yr old Canon EOS Rebel xsi that I modified myself.

The first image was captured using a canon kit lens for the color with combined H-Alpha data from a 50mm prime lens to bring out some of the faint Ha dust. The last two were shot with a 61mm William Optics refractor using a light pollution filter. Both were less than 3 hours of exposure time.

I picked up my Rebel XSi for like 50 USD. I also picked up a Rebel T5 for like 80 USD and I'll include an image from that DSLR.

Same telescope as the last two above but with the rebel T5

(all images shot in bortle 5 skies)
