A ~750nm filter will not see the faint thermal night side emission. When I was trying this back in May 2004, I did indeed try such a filter as an experiment but without success and the saturation of the crescent with the filter was far too intense anyhow. It requires a 1um filter and a detector with a some amount of spectral response at the 1-micron wavelength.
