The narrower the filter, the brighter the sky you can accept (the filter rejects just about all unwanted sky background..a full moon/light pollution is not an issue ) . Exposures would be on a par with a 3nm..

That said it doesn't look like Oz has enough hard-core astro-imagers to make this one float.
