If we are getting into ways of beating light pollution the flocking and tube extension will help dramatically.
Another, often overlooked, consequence of light pollution is that you never really dark adapt. How to fix this is quite simple, use an eyepatch over your observing eye when not looking through the scope and fit an observing hood to your scope and only take your eyepatch off when under the hood. This will let your observing eye fully dark adapt and take advantage of what light you have available.
