IMHO, this camera is named incorrectly: If the cut filter is removed and the IR filter must be placed over the LENS, then that means that the camera has been modified to become a Full Spectrum camera and you can put ANY filter over the front to limit the wavelength of light reaching the sensor. This means narrowband astrophotography is possible with it (astrophotography that is not affected by city skyglow or moonlight). You are not going to BELIEVE the astrophotography that can be done with this instrument. (In addition to the other possible uses of any full spectrum camera.)
