Hi Peter,

I use the astronomik ccd cls it seemed to be one of the best one from my research although there are a few brand options out there.

While a LP filter is more effective on sodium lit areas vs broad spectrum there still should be an improvement to signal vs 'unwanted signal' as you are blocking a lot of rubbish hitting the sensor.


Cheers

Russ
