Jason,

Dr Alan Holmes at SBIG did a nice piece which is available for download at their website here:

I've used with CS and AstroDon sets, and ended up going back to the CS variety, as they give better colour saturation. Unfortunately llight pollution, particularly with Oz's penchant for High Pressure Mercury lights, tends to be spread across the spectrum., so the only real fix is to get good at removing gradients (particularly if you are about to get an STL11k) or shoot from dark skies.

Cheers
Peter
