Or does the filter allow you to increase your exposure time without reaching your skyglow limit?

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Matty,
I did a direct comparison in a recent post - I was looking at internal reflections with and without filter but it may give you some idea as what to expect.
I haven't pushed exposures past 10 mins but I feel that the LPS2 filter would allow me to test the limits of my autoguider!!
