Is this filter worth the money?

I did a timelapse. The timelapse was with the Sony A7s as sadly then 5D MKIII had some kinda moving sensor dust which messed the whole movie up . The still at the start and end is from the 5DmkIII.
You can see that meteor (the A7s was with a sigma 15mm f2.8 fisheye) explode and the dust cloud from it.

That is not a crop. It was a huge meteor! Honestly, it was almost scary.

You also have a bonus of M31 captured . Very nice capture . You should send it in to www.spaceweather.com and add it to the meteor gallery .

So, I live in a pretty bad part of the UK for light pollution. People have said filters such as these:
http://www.wexphotogra​phic.com …n-filter/p1525548#detail​s

really help. Are they worth the investment? Ideally the "best" places for me are a 2 hour drive away...which although do-able, they still can suffer "some" light pollution from the cities around 50km away...

Are you tracking during exposure? If so then filters can help. I own 3 astronomik filters 6nm Ha, 12nm oiii and cls ccd. All eos clip variants. Expensive? Yes about $700 in filters but they suit a specific purpose. The filter you list is an all around filter for visual use, meaning it is for an eyepiece and not very aggressive. Ida's lpv4 and cls ccd type filters are imaging filters which filter light with stronger band pass curves. Even then, processing can be difficult because of white balance and background gradients, but once you get it down it's all cake. My biggest problem that I did not realize until recent is that I began imaging before true dark, which is at like 10:00 mid summer... This caused me to take a few hours worth of bad data. In light polluted areas, like next door to wallmart, I was able to do a 60s exposure at ISO 1600 f2.8 with the cls ccd filter in and 15s without. It makes a difference. With the Ha filter I could image directly over wallmart and do 600s exposures.
I have not tried shooting with the Lp filter where I live now, but the Lp is not nearly as bad as my old place. I have a dark site about an her away that I Use

Hey, sorry I did not see this reply! My mobile decided to not work properly.

Well, I just want you usual DSLR wide field shots of the milky way really. I do not own a mount or a scope...
Basically, I want the visible spectrum with all the rubbish removed (the rubbish that *could* be removed).

I am off to Croatia this week so hoping with the pretty dark skies, I can maybe try some with and without the filter and have a go at some stacking.

Those filters you speak of seem like narrow-pass filters? Allowing only certain wavelengths in...like the balmer series etc?
