G'day Bo,

Another way to combat light pollution is to take an image of a white sheet of paper during sunshine. You will get a pinkish color. You need to adjust the ISO and exposure to get a good color that is not too bright or too dark (experiment).
You then set this image as your Custom White Balance and select it as the white balance to custom. When you take your exposures at night this will help reduce the pinkish brown color that light pollution causes and makes it easier to balance the image. (do not use a light pollution filter).
I have found this to be as good as (if not better) than light pollution filters

Regards,
Tony.
