UV/IR cut filter – yes or no – a guiding example

Guiding without UV/IR cut filter, with UV/IR cut filter and under very good conditions.
Upper left: Guiding WITHOUT UV/IR cut filter. Upper right: Guiding WITH UV/IR cut filter. Lower center: Guiding WITH UV/IR cut filter and very good balance and seeing.

Is it necessary to use an UV/IR cut filter? If yes, is this something you can really see in your results?
