I notice that bintel are selling those two filters (GSO 80A and GSO ND-96) for $15 each. Before I go and get anything, what are people's opinions on the essentials in filters for beginners? I don't want to buy stuff which I really do not need or will only give marginal improvements. Currently most interested in planets, moon and nebula - but that will change no doubt as I get into things more and more.

Without going overboard into expensive land, are there any basic filters which you'd recommend I get for various things which would make a big difference to what I see?

Cheers,
