Blew $220 on a light pollution filter and it's the best money I ever spent on this hobby
I shoot from my backyard in Denver where the sky is basically orange, and for 2 years my Milky Way shots were just noisy gray soup. Last spring I finally dropped $220 on a clip-in light pollution filter, and my 30 second subs went from unusable to actually showing structure in the nebula. Has anyone else found a single piece of gear that made that big a jump in their photos, or am I just late to the party on this one?

Man, your story reminds me of when I finally broke down and got my mount tuned up instead of buying a new lens. I spent like $180 on a hypertune service for my old CGEM and suddenly my stars went from little footballs to actual round dots. Same subs, same camera, same sky, just way better tracking. It was wild how much sharper everything looked once the mount stopped bouncing around.
