I live in Bortle 2 skies and while there is a streetlight nearby, my house blocks it and as far as I can see, it has no effect on my images. Is this filter worth using over the UV/IR filter even in dark conditions?
Thanks

Hi Simon,
If you have a streetlight nearby I wouldn't think your skies are even close to Bortle 2. Your address shows as "Kingsford", which is in Sydney. I am assuming you aren't talking about there. That would be closer to Bortle 6 to 8, not 2. Where abouts are you located at?
Cheers
