Default filter question

I own a 102 mm refractor I have on it a diagonal that accepts filters can I set my v-minus filter on it and at the same time use a light pollution on the eyepieces or it will be conflicting.

You should be able to use both, but it would be unnecessary. The light pollution filters cutoff at longer wavelengths than the v-minus filters.

Zathris, you beat me to it!!

You should not have to use both filters as the minus violet will work fine by itself with your refractor.
