Modded DSLR -standard naming?
There is much ambiguity in some of the references to the various mods which can be carried out to the DSLR - mainly Canons.
Is full spectrum the same as FULL spectrum?, when is a UV-IR replacement filter required? What about the clear filter replacement?
Can I work with all the filter elements removed??
The phrase "Astro modified" seems a very good choice to describe the removal of only the colour balance filter which enhances the response to the red region of the spectrum - including the Halpha.
To reduce star bloat it is usual to add back a UV-IR filter, or if you want to maintain auto focus with the standard camera lenses add a clear filter replacement.
For the mod which removes both filters (colour correction and the anti alias filters) and allows access to wavelengths from 360nm through to the NIR I think should be called a "FULL spectrum mod" Again the UV-IR or clear filters can be added back depending on the need.
What do you think?
Makes more sense?
