Mana Illusions specifically DO work on the astral (it's at the beginning of the illusion
spells
section), UNLESS the viewer assenses the illusion.

Oh, and whoever said that you can cast spells through IR goggles, no. Although I can think
up
a (really complex) method of changing IR to visible spectrum light using only prisms and
lenses, all of the ones in the book (along with LL goggles) use some form of device which
means that you are not directly seeing the light from the target, and thus stops you
casting
the spell. The only way you can do casting through thermo or LL is if you have them as
natural or cyberware.

Incidentally, if you go for the "independant cybereye" option in M&M, can
you blast people
using the eye in the back of your head? Or the one on your cybertail?

Sure. However, auras can be neither disguised nor created and so useful
astral illusions are few, and invisibility (disguising an aura) is not one.
