Just wondering, does a nebula filter help to see the clouds better?

I found a better quality eyepiece, such as a Bintel Plossl, really made a big difference. The 25mm 'kit' eyepieces are accepted as pretty good, but the 10mm, not so much so. You can pick up a Bintel 15mm Plossl for about $50, and difference in optical quality is quite noticable.
If you really want to try a Nebula filter, they are about 1/3 of the price thru BHP, than buying locally.
