Comparison of images before and after the IR mod.

Images of the Rosette under nearly identical conditions, before and after the IR mod by LifePixel.
The original Nikon IR filter was replaced by a full spectrum filter. A Baader 2" UV/IR (mild) filter was inserted into the light path. Both are 10 minute sub-exposures at ISO800, no darks were applied in order to simplify the comparison. (The third image is a combination of 6 - 10 minute subs, dark subtracted, with a bias frame, of the after mod exposures on 01/24/07.)
