Subject: IR filter with a DMK color .AS camera?

I'm pretty far along in this game to be asking about simple rules, but this one's got me 

wondering...

I forget the exact model... but I've got a DMK Color camera with the .AS after it.

Do I need to use the IR filter on planets and the Moon?

I didn't think I needed to with color web cams (like the Fire-i) but I was wondering about the 

.AS (I thought that was just a firmware change but not sure).

I've tried it both ways and didn't see much difference, but then again the nights I was out 

didn't present me with the best skies.

In any case, easy question for those who know.

Thanks,

Duane
