Advice please on which Filters for OSC imaging?

Good afternoon

I am hoping for some advice regarding:

1- Which filters are advised to help with imaging with a OSC?

2- What are the realistic targets I should aim for, with regards to Nebulas and DSOs other than the galaxies?

With Mono cameras, it is pretty obvious, LRGB for Broadband & H,S & O for narrrowband.

What about with OSC? What filters would help my imaging? I realise that Nebulas etc are better shot with Mono & filters, but I would like some advice on what I can do with what I've got?

My setup is:

ZWO ASI294MC Pro, SW ED80 + .85xFR , C11 XLT + .63FR & SW AZEQ6 Pro, Bortle 9 skies in South West London.

Many thanks

I opted for an IDAS LPS D2 filter, it's supposed to leave the colours reasonably balanced whilst also cutting out the light pollution including the new LED street lights.

I've just finished 30x300s subs on M101 as one of the first targets since I got it, I also shot C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) earlier in the week, which I think turned out ok. I'm looking forward to seeing how M101 turns out.....
