Would appreciate any suggestions for a filter set for a beginner
Eyepieces already owned are ES 5.5mm & 14mm (100's) and 18mm & 30mm (82's), as well as an ES 2x focal extender; all are 2"
Scope is a 305mm aperture, 1500mm f/l, f/4.92 Skywatcher Dobsonian
Supermoon was nice viewing (though had to use the 1.25" 25mm and 10mm Plossls that came with the scope) but definitely washing out (brightness); I am on the border between NYC's light pollution and darker skies (anything to the East has me looking towards city glow, but it's darker towards other directions).
Would like (in order) enhanced planetary and/or lunar, enhanced DSOs/nebulae; these are more for viewing than astrographs.
Have already shot through the budget by multiples on eyepieces, so would like to know about good value eyepieces versus top-of-the-line.
Any suggestions?
