Have you tried this Ian? Looking at response curves for the default canon IR Filter, it blocks 70% of Ha at 656 and 80% of SII at 673, so your exposure time would need to be two to three times longer than with a Baader IR Filter installed plus only the red pixels will be detecting anything. I'd never get decent images if I had to do 30minute exposures.
