Travis,
The FULL full mod (both filters removed) is more helpful for spectroscopy than AP.
Just do the basic mod.
A clear clip in filter will allow you to use and manually focus standard lenses.
The UV-IR blocking as per the original anti-alias filter is retained.

yes i have done a clear glass full spectrum mod before, nice Ha response but star bloat was excessive.

i then used a clip in astronomik CLS-CCD filter which was great and took care light pollution and star bloat - there are plenty of other similar solutions out there now.

there is also a OWB (original white balance) filter you can use for regular daytime photography - although i would just use a different camera or custom edit the balance post processing tbh - plenty of cheap second hand dslr's which work great in daylight for about the same price as the filter!

Thank you everyone for the responses.

The camera is solely for AP, so not worried about a white balance filter. I have the CLS-CCD filter and wondered whether the UV IR cutoff aspect of this filter was beneficial over the stock filter. But the CLS part may work against me with low light pollution?
