Astronomik CLS filter

Hi all

I have a quick question in relation to filters for visual astronomy.

I currently have an Astronomik UHC and an OIII. These are great on nebulae and planetaries.

I have a moderately light polluted home observing site.

My question is in relation to a broadband filter such as an Astronomik CLS. Would this assist in relation to identifying and viewing galaxies in moderate light pollution? Or am I better sticking with the UHC/OIII (which help little/not at all on galaxies).

I appreciate that galaxies emit light in all wavelengths and therefore don't respond that well to filters, but having being a narrowband filter user, I wondered if the broadband Astronomik CLS would help in this regard.
