Webcam autoguiding - bloated bright stars?

Hello all,
When using my Phillips 800k webcam to autoguide I note that all the brighter stars are hugely bloated and won't come to pinpoint focus suitable to use for guiding. I assume this is because the sensor on the webcam has no filters in place.

Question - can I rectify this by using a UV/IR filter. I think(! - haven't looked!!) that the Mogg webcam 1.25" adapter is threaded for filters

Anyone done this??

cheers
Doug
