I don’t want vignetting on the corners, so is it safer to just go 2 inch?
Many thanks,
Stéphane

Hi Stephane,
The Nikon D7000 has an APSc sized sensor and with its ~28.3mm sensor diagonal would not suit a 1.25inch type filter without vignetting.
As to a light pollution filter recommendation... Would you want to use it with any lenses or telescopes you currently own? If so, it would be good to know some details of those.
Best
