Ha filter to view or photograph the night sky

Just a thought, if you are using a Ha filter to view or photograph the night sky, light pollution should not make any difference, is this true or have I got it wrong

You are correct, not much good for non-imaging viewing though, due to the small amount of light getting through the filter.....
