So the results are in. I finally received my IR cut filter. I tested it backwards and forwards with and without filter. Does it improve guiding ? Not much in my case. Maybe marginally. What it does do though is make the guide image significantly cleaner meaning the guide star is sharper. I think if my mount was more capable of more accurate guiding, it would have made more of a difference. The areas where the mount was stable did seem to be cleaner lines. Not what I would consider a waste of time but not a “ result “ either.
