I'm pretty sure you still need one. The color filters I use with my mono camera all include the IR/UV cut.

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
