Will a filter of some kind help?

Hi All,

I am in possession of a 12" dob and live approximately 13km out from the city centre (Melbourne), so obviously, seeing on the best of nights is punished from the amount of light pollution.

Are there filters i can get that will offer me a new view on the deeper / dark regions of the sky? Getting away from the light pollution is not so easy - so if there's something that will offer me a new set of wow's right from my back yard, that would be fantastic. I just don't know what to expect from them (filters)?

*edit* It may not even be a filter that will give me new wows... maybe an eyepiece?

Thanks all in advance.

- Michael
