Thanks MelBob. Well, I bought one! Yes, they're pretty expensive. However, the workmanship and science that goes into them makes them worth every penny. My H-Alpha filter is made by Coronado.

Thanks to all of you for the comments. I never get tired of looking at objects that are so far distant but still able to be captured. Andy

This is spectacular. A glimpse of a turbulent and violent place indeed! It's rather humbling to see this. Excellent work. Jim H.
