Thanks Merlin 66 and Trek 1701.
I understand that the Canon factory 60Da still had an IR filter but which allowed passage of the nearer IR band which included the important Hydrogen emission band. So I am a bit confused as to what is meant by full spectrum modification rather than a partial IR mod and how the former would be useful for astrophotography.
I also took the opportunity to contact Canon who pointed out that they do not condone any non Canon after market mods and that any would void the warranty
I really love my M6 so lightweight and useable on all my gear but it is also my main general purpose camera, and I would hate to risk losing any Canon support for it. Maybe in a few more years if I am able to purchase something better and the M6 becomes the "back up" I may further consider a mod.
So I've decided to keep it unmodified and also keep my 60DA (much heavier of course) but I now have recently bought an outfit whose focuser should handle the weight well enough when I want those more intense hydrogen colours.
Thanks all
