I have an old Canon EOS Rebel T1i which I plan to use for my first attempts at capturing images. I have heard that there are some advantages to removing the IR filter when used for astrophotography, but it's not clear if it should be replaced with something else. Anybody out there ever done this?

You can get your camera modified by a professional (I believe most people charge $300-$400 for the service) but you need to send it in and it will take some time to get it back. If you are just getting started, I'd suggest to just practice without bothering with modifying the camera. We never modified our DSLR cameras and used them for astrophotography for years with great results :)
