Is there any specific settings I should be looking at changing to try and minimise the flare?
I had awful lens flare, adding a hood got rid.

Ah, now you mention it, I stuck the sunlight hood on halfway through (to try and keep the light rain off the filter), and none of the subsequent photos had noticable flare on them. Makes the removal of the filter for focusing much more of a pain though!I had awful lens flare, adding a hood got rid.
I can, but it's really hard to see on the display due to the filter, so I'm almost doing it blind.Depends what PP spftware you have, but in my case I got better results using camera WB than Lightroom.
Also, I can focus with the IR filter on with no issues, are you sure you cant?
i've not used an IR filter on anything other than my D50. but i've been focusing with the filter off, then switching the lens back to AF (to lock the drive so it doesnt move when i attach the filter) and then checking what the camera reackons for exposure time, switching to manual and then adding a bit to what it suggested.
on my last thread, exposure times varied from 4 to 30 seconds.
you should see better results in sunlight than you would at night in your room.
some outstanding shots here

You don't refocus with the filter on?
i don't even know why i was using iso1600 in the past!
normally, no. i've composed the shot with the filter off, so why not focus it too?
the AF works through the filter though.
