Re: Which H-alpha filter?

Second shot is with the Astronomik 13nm filter, 10 minutes, ISO400, 27% moon.

Note that the stars are larger than on the first image, despite being dimmer. Note: It's hard to focus an H-alpha shot, since only the red pixels respond well in the small star image used for focusing. You see a checkerboard pattern with mainly red pixels.
