UHC and other nebula filters don't work on planets. These are strictly for nebulae only.

For planets you can get colour filters to enhance individual features such as jupiter's clouds, the martian polar caps etc, but the enhancement is very subtle, it'll tint the image and for a 114mm scope, many deeper colours such as red, violet and blue will darken the image too much. I have some colour filters but rarely use them as I just prefer the natural view.
