Hi Lee,
I am new to this as well and also have a 10" dob. Other more experienced members will be able to chime in with more exact information, but if you havent already - take a look at 47tuc (globular cluster) which is next to the SMC.
Orion Nebula is always easy to see even with the moon around - and if you are under dark skies take a look at the Tarantula Nebula which is in the LMC. Actually just pan around the entire area of the LMC, it really looks great through a 10".
As for galaxies, I can't remember the NGCs but there are quite a few worth taking a look at (though don't expect to see spiral arms or any real detail for most of them). I saw around half a dozen galaxies last weekend but high winds made viewing difficult.
Sorry I can't help further but I'm sure someone else will be able to give you better info (especially for using your filters)!
Cheers
Steve
