Hi Jimmy, You'll find that by using a coloured filter, the image will be a lot fainter than if you viewed it without.(any tinges of real colour will be killed). This is because you are cutting out the bandwidths of light needed to see the whole object. It's like looking thru a dirty window. A broadband/UHC/or OIII will enhance the image by filtering out the background radiated light that dims the original un-filtered view. This is why you pay big money for them.
As stated, borrow before buy, if poss. and keep your coloured filters for the planets.
HTH.
ps. It's all to do with ISOTOPES.(H1/H2/H3 etc etc).
