Hi Peter and Mike, I have used a QHY8 quite a bit with NB filters. It is not only possible it delivers quite good results. To use NB filters you have a couple of options to process the images.
When capturing Ha images the initial image at 1 x 1 bin will be captured at full RGB and will be quite red when debayered. This red image can be blended with the red channel after your initial RGB images are split into separate colours or it can be desaturated or converted to greyscale and used as a normal NB filter image would be or used as a great luminance layer.
Some strange star colour can be included into the the blended images but this can be corrected by removing the stars after image registration and before blending.
The camera can be used similar to a mono camera just by converting the NB images to greyscale for normal NB image processing.

Good luck with it you should have fun. It's really quite easy.
