      Wwau .. beautiful video ... if I may ask you ... in this video you add the astronomik h-alpha filter to the already modified SLR Sony or is it normal SLR and add the filter? What's happen of I use the h-alpha filter on a normal reflex? Thanks in Advance ..

    Great shots Alyn. I once heard from an Air B&B owner after we rented a couple of nights to shoot and showed her the images. She said, "I had no idea that all that stuff was up there". Keep bringing us "ALL THAT STUFF" and helping expand astrophotography the way you do.

In that regard your videos are excellent, you are calm, clear, and do a great job of articulating the excitement and anticipation of astrophotography! You also explain the technical aspects of each step of the process very well, even someone like myself who understands astronomy and has no personal astrophotography experience. I think this video was great and I enjoy seeing these objects under different filters, thank you!

    I think to people that know what's actually possible with astro images it adds another dimension. But to photographers that don't usually shoot astro they tend to dismiss it as something that's not natural because we can't see it with the naked eye. It's usually landscape photographer's that have problems with it. But I ask them this "do you see the effects of a 10 stop filter?" That kind of gets the cogs moving a little.

    Your last remark about how these pictures would look to people who don’t know anything about astrophotography was spot on. This summer I shot my first star trails images and when I shared it with family and friends most of them did not know what they were looking at. I had to explain to them what the pictures were about and how they were captured in order to understand what they were looking at.

    Alyn, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... that being said, for me I like to stay as much as possible closer to what we "could" see, and a subtle integration of HA+RGB so the pink/redish doesn't take over the image... but then again, that is just me.

    ps - the wide field RGB+HaRGB images I feel would have a limited appeal to those who have some understanding of what they are seeing or at least are curious as to what they are seeing.

    I think you can get the same result using an L-enhance filter if you discard the G/B channels. The L-enhance is 12nm HA (more like 10nm), but you can get a RBG image out of it that's not too far off from natural color if it's processed right. I've messed around with mine a little, but have never really used it strictly as an HA filter to add data to an existing image. The Horsehead nebula picture I took with the L-enhance filter in Bortle 6 looks very similar to yours after adding HA data to the RGB. I think the main difference is mostly the star color, but its not too different after using star extraction and then processing the stars and nebula separately.

AWH!....Doing the extra detail work to the camera and using the filter then the blending makes it even more Spectacular. Always in awe of clarkvision.com who did it with film for NASA and where I learned of the colors of sky gases after seeing them with AWB on my A7s. I am impressed with the use of just the 100-400 at 300mm to capture and better yet the 20mm 1.8 and 24mm f/1.4. A new image with filters!!!!

    Amazing Alyn ! I was wondering, did you do the last photo by also blending the RGB fir the orion nebula? WOuld it be weird to remove the Hydrogen alpha data for the nebula and keep it for the loop?
    I am considering astromodifying my camera A7III but I use it quite a lot in daylight so I am not sure I should just instead buy another one (and selling my A7s in the same time). I was wondering : For the astronomik filter, did it feel safe to put it in place ? I have seen several people complaining about the filter being wobbly or a little scary to put over the sensor. Any thoughts on that?
