Blew $60 on a light pollution filter for my DSLR and it pretty much killed my Milky Way shots
I shoot from my backyard about 40 minutes outside Pittsburgh, and everyone in the forums kept saying a light pollution filter was the fix for washed out skies. So I grabbed one, drove out to a dark site near Cherry Springs two Fridays ago, and after stacking 90 frames I liked my unfiltered shots from the week before way more. It cut the sky glow, sure, but it also stripped the color out of the stars and made the nebula stuff look flat and gray. What filters people actually use for urban astrophotography, or is learning processing the real answer here?

Stop blaming filters, just learn to process better.
