some questions!

I followed a thread here regarding barlow collimating with a orion lasermate deluxe and I believe this method made a huge difference viewing - I'm getting more details of Jupiter.

I'm even seeing Jupiter's cloud details on my cheap 10mm eyepiece attached to a barlow - Will i get much more details using a say, a Televue eyepiece?

I have a Meade 4000 eyepiece kit arriving probably next month sometime and was thinking whether i'll be better off selling them unused to fund a far superior eyepiece (TeleVue?)

There is some sort of movement surrounding Jupiter - is this some sort of atmosphere vibrations? I am viewing it around 9pm near Melbourne (Light pollution?)

Also, it's quite bright - should i use a filter?

Using a Lightbridge 12" by the way
