Thanks Bo,
there's a good "mouse over picture here:
http://www.cwjames.info/astro/howto/...k_CLS-CCD.html

I used to image from a street with a whole row of sodium orange street lights.
If I just unscrewed the filter & looked down the street
it looked almost completely dark.
It's amazing as without the filter the sky noise was terrible.

You still need to take much more data than from a dark site
when using such a filter but you can get great results
from a light polluted location with nebulas.
Galaxies are however quite difficult without huge amounts of data.

cheers
Allan
