Some nice details. I've always wondered if it's worth the bother using a HA filter with a dslr. It's a bit of a 50/50 split from my reading.

For me it is worth it. It adds so much more detail to colour images

What type of H alpha filter did you use? 12nm?

Thanks

That's impressive, does using a HA filter also help cut out light pollution?

Which HA clip filter did you use?

Very nice detail there

Advice? Keep doing whatever you're doing at the moment - that's a cracker!

[Cath]

I like that, I do

It would be very helpful if you could share your workflow with us here. Many of us here are thinking about buying a H-alpha filter but we aren't entirely convinced if it's worth it. Your pictures show that it is but... how do you do it?

Thanks

Great capture
