Galaxy filters

Hi all,
I’ve been reading up on forums about how to image galaxies. As I understand, they are better imaged using broadband filters as they contain a full spectrum of colour. One filter I’ve seen pop up regularly is the Optolong UV/IR cut filter.

Would you recommend me purchasing this filter? I have quite a bit of light pollution in Preston, Melbourne. I understand that this filter does not block light pollution unlike the narrowband filters. Any advice in regards to light pollution when using broadband filters?

Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given me in the last few months. It is really appreciated.

Stéphane
