Its not detail that is impoved, just shorter exposures in the near-infrared (eg Ha) frequencies which the internal filter cuts off.
You can get clip-in or screw on filters you easily fit for daytime photography to correct the colour balance properly again with the mod.
As mentioned, the original filter needs to be replaced with something, either clear glass or a higher freq cut off for auto focus to work for normal use.
The clip-in filter though, can get in the way for some stock lenses, so a screw on maybe the go..
