I read about them, but it seemed like an extra step for milky way. Working with a raw file and doing the same adjustments seemed to make more sense for me. I'm not at home, but I have a folder on my computer that has links to places that will help to process the milky way, or night sky.
Since I would be shooting raw, I really didn't see the need to add the filter.

Thanks, Dennis.

Film: That tangible image that you can see and hold.

Ive never heard of them. Jeff
That makes two of us, Jeff. I was going to ask what they are, and what are they supposed to do, but Dr Google answered for me. Interesting.

Agreed. After looking it up on Google, I realized that the Nik Collection does a lot of this already. Even LR is getting quite good at this.
While this might appeal to folks who always try to "...get it right, in the camera...", I suspect that appeal would be limited.
