Hi Timbo, what you need is a tube extension at the front of your scope to shield it from light coming in on directions other than what your pointing at.
Some people incorrectly refer to them as a "dew shield".
No filter will help what you have described.

BUT, these come in 50 and 45 FOV, and even though they have a nice 20mm eye relief, I was hoping for a wider view. Is that an unrealistic expectation?

Pretty much yes. As the saying goes you can have any TWO of the following........ wide field..... well corrected field....... low price.
