Default an "invisible" artifical star?

Since a webcam without the IR filter is sensitive to IR, why couldn't I use
an IR light source to illuminate an artificial star. Such a system wouldn't
disturb the neighbors as the beam would be invisible to the eye, and I could
continue collimation as I always do with the webcam/ barlow combo.
Thoughts?

JJ
