It probably depends a lot on just how much light pollution is coming into the yard. I have two streetlights not far from my backyard and I observe from the shadow of a shed. Jason says his yard is heavily light polluted so I'm guessing it's at least as bad as my spot. I guess it also depends on one's expectations for the degree of improvement from the filters.
With my C11/filters I can see wisps of nebulosity extending well away from eta c and the brighter parts look very bright - looks a lot like a photo - I never found it exciting in the Meade 8" from my yard.
