Hi all,

I'm not expecting to eliminate the light pollution but to improve the view.
I know and I agree that a dark sky makes the difference, but at this stage I'm unable to go often out of the city, so I have to deal with light pollution. Last night I've tested the UHC filter on the Lagoon Nebula. The results were better than the expected. The nebulosity perception (hope this is the right word) has increased 50% more than without the filter, spreading across the entire EP view. I've tested the filter even with different objects rather than nebulas, but I guess this kind of filter has been designed for that specific scope and in fact on general view I couldn't get any benefit.
I'll do a search in IIS in regarding LPF (my bad I didn't before).

Thanks guys.
