There will never be a subsitute for dark skies...

Increasing aperture should aide in the fight against light pollution...
More magnification should aide in the fight against light pollution...
Some filters can improve (marginally) the fight against light pollution...
A light shield/screen can aide...
Keeping your eyes dark adapted can aide...this to me is one of the most overlooked factors in considering light pollution...if it is bright enough to not allow your eyes to become dark adaptation then are fighting a battle that will be ahrd to win.

I have tried many of the above and while they all "help"...unfortunately, I think the best investment is in petrol to get out to a darker spot...
