Think about the simple 60 degree prism in this context as a "nebula filter".
The smaller prisms are pretty cheap and can be mounted in/ through a plastic film cassette which can then be aligned behind the eyepiece to allow emission line objects to be better seen.
I have one I made up in the 1970's. Very easy, very simple, very effective.
