This is what inspired me to try it, despite the fact that my site is relatively dark.

the theory is that these filters do a pretty good job on the skyglow as well a the light pollution. Worked for me!
cheers,
Andrew.

I'm interested to know your thoughts though?

I can only imagine better response if you removed the factory IR filter.
As you'd know, there's the noise to contend with as you increase your exposure duration.
Cheers
