The colour filters on most colour chips let through IR so that the camera can work in a pseudo B&W mode for IR illumination. These CCD chips have high sensitivity to IR. This will wash out colours and bloat stars. The use of a UV/IR blocking filter will really improve the image.
Having said that it looks like Ken has proved it for the ToUcam.

Good result Ken.
