using UHC/LPR filter will make any difference?
I would liketo add, I leave in India and in the heart of the city. City glare can spoil my expectation? if yes then can i handle it? Also, i have see few image of nebula and galaxies but they are taken from ETX-125, please see i am not interested in taking photographs, view them is my primary goal.
 
Yes--- M31 Andromeda, and M42 the Orion Nebula --- right now-- in the sky after dark.
 
You can see any galaxies or nebulae with any telescope. Did you know that you can see the Andromeda galaxy with the naked eye? I am sure that the etx-80 can see even more galaxies. And using that filter might help too. The problem is with the nebulae. Even though they are closer, they are billions, maybe trillions of times smaller than any galaxy. You might be able to see a reflective nebulae though as they are bigger and brighter. Planetary nebulae, the things stars and planets are made of, are much harder to spot. I would suggest going to a website and finding pictures, directions, and advice on finding these.
