Nope. The QHY8 works fine for NB pics. I posted a lot of NB shots on these forums done with the QHY8 and NB filters. Ha & Sii go into the red pixels so you debayer and keep the red only (monochrome image). Oiii goes in the blue and the green and you do the same.

Ha, SII & OIII should supress the IR, at least I've never used them with my Meade DSI Pro II, but that is a mono camera. |
I wouldn't know about a filter wheel as I never used one but the reflections I was having were happening between the CCD and the MPCC. That's why I got rid of any extra glass in that area. I now put any filters before the MPCC, so that's the first glass the light hits. Whether it's a Ha, Sii, Oiii, or the UV/IR filter.
