modded cameras

I see some talk of modded DSLR's...What does this mean?

I have a 300D which has the anti-aliasing filter removed and replaced with a 720nm filter so I could do handheld Infrared shots (landscapes mainly). Is this the same thing?

Can anyone give me an idea how much more sensitive this would make the camera for astrophotgraphy, ie 1, 2 or more stops?

If so can you still get colour shots or are they mainly converted B&W (or bright red as raw)

thanks
Robert
