The ones that work best for me are the yellow, looking at Mars, Jupiter or Saturn, by slightly increasing the contrast on the surface of the planets. I have also found that both the green and the orange filters improve the contrast on the Moon when it is full or near-full.

I have the Celestron set too and it came with a leaflet all folded up with the filters explaining what each filter would do. PM me if you would like me to scan it in and email it to you.
