You said you like to use the ND in combo with a blue (80A). In the looking around I've done, I've read comments saying that the 80A is good for getting detail out of Saturn, Jupiter and Lunar. In fact, some comments I've read suggest that one filter as the one to get if you only get one.
Thoughts?

That would great - would love to take a sneak peak through it. If there's one which will help me get better nebulae views from my light polluted backyard (and it isn't insanely expensive), I would love one. BTW, what is a DGN NBP and how much does one cost?
From what I've heard, I'm forming the view that I'll probably look for two filters - maybe three.
My first priority is : GSO 80A (blue - $15 from bintel)
Perhaps a ND (also $15) as well (or should I swap this for the 80A?).
Finally, if that filter which will definitely assist with nebulae (DGM NBP) in my situation, that is on the list.
