Advice Bortle 6 + sky and light pollution filter

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, I've a bortle 6+ sky and 45sec subs look almost washed out using my Canon 1000d modded camera and 12inch f4 Newtonian. Would an idas D2 led light pollution filter help. They are quite expensive so don't really want to make any purchase mistake. I do have led lighting and the sky appears a white glow. I've been using an ordinary 2inch lpf. Advice help would be much appreciated.

I have LED streetlights and I find that the Idas D2 filter really helps.

Personally I wouldn't (and don't) use a LP filter. I fix it in post using Carboni's Astronomy Tools in Photoshop. Remember what every filter you use will remove data from your final image. Better to capture everything and remove it in post.
