Fascinating. I'd be interested to see what difference the IR pass would make when viewing something like Bok globules, which are dark in visible light yet often contain young newly formed stars within. Great idea using the modded camera in this way. I've read somewhere that a modded 350D can accumulate almost as much light in IR and UV as it does in the visible spectrum. It would be neat if some targets (like maybe Bok globs) could deliver up nice pics not available in visible light.

Come to think of it wouldn't a modded camera without an IR pass filter deliver a mixture anyway of visible and IR data. So if you took a pic of a bok globule the stars in there would be visible in your pic anyway whereas in an unmodded camera they would not ?

Great fun. Again, fascinating.
