You don't necessarily need a cold mirror to guide in NIR. I've been doing it for a little while with an OAG. Honestly can't say how easy it will be to find a star with this approach, as it'll depend on many factors (focal length, sensor size, response curve of camera, camera sensitivity, filter bandpass etc) but so far I've managed with mine on a couple of targets.
