@Starrancher , I’ve never used any filter and personally have no idea. I’ve got a 130p newt and how would those filters help the visibility? Can they make a huge difference?

For nebula there are basically 3 filters you will want. A Oiii filter, a narrowband and a H Beta. The H Beta is the one everyone seems to use when they go after the Horsehead. For me the Oiii is the one i use the most

Hi:
Nebula filters help to contrast image.
They constrain light that allow pass in some bands such Halpha, Hbeta or OIII.
Depending on what nebula you want to observe, you’ll use a Halpha for HII Nebula or a OIII for planetary nebula.
Besides, there are other filters to fight light pollution, cutting some bands from street lights, improving the quality of image.
Regards
