Then I think you will be disappointed. The effect of an LPR filter in sky background darkening in the best of cases is like going up one notch in magnification, say like the difference between a 22 and 24mm eyepiece.

Yes light pollution sux, but really there is only one solution to get around it.

A uhc type filter can help on nebulae if you drape a cloth over your head to keep extraneous light out and to aid dark adaptation.
