Right... What I'm talking about is the glow from those kinds of lights. In left side of the image there's a yellow glow and it's coming from a lone blinking yellow light at a cross road. It's about two miles away and its not really evident with the naked eye, but the camera is picking it up. What I'd like to know is if this kind of glow would be reduced by these kinds of filters. Some have told me yes while others say it would be minimal difference.

You might find for night landscape shots that might help you best if it’s in your budget . It’s very popular among amateur astronomers that use a DSLR camera for all imaging .

I've read a few articles and watched some YouTube videos on different types of filters and I have an idea of what they offer. I know about different light wavelengths from keeping reef and planted aquariums so I generally know what kind of bulb transmits what kind of light. I guess I'm just wanting a simple answer that only using one in my current situation would be able to answer. Thank you for your help though!
