Filters to use with ZWO color cameras

Hi, So i have made the move from DSLR to a dedicated astronomy camera.
I have a ZWO asi017mc
I have yet to try it out due to bad weather and also work commitments, but from what i have researched so far ( am i am still a tad confused ) but it looks like i might need to look at filters even though it is a color camera.

So please correct me if i am wrong here, but do i need to look at a Luminance filter, ( i think these are just UV / IR cut filters?)
Do i need to look at a narrow band filter? ( still not sure what the difference is between Luminance and narrow bad filters )

I might be getting a tad ahead of myself here as i have yet to see if my setup will reach focus, My scope is not ideal from astrophotography
( Skywatcher Evostar 150ED )

There is a 2" T-adaptor that the Canon T-ring attaches to, I have just taken the T-ring of and attached the camera in question to this.

Any advice or information is appreciated.
Thanks.
peter.
