Use the D800 every time you take astro images.

Correct me if I'm wrong, only learning here, I think narrow band filters are mostly useful when your camera/DSLR will see the specturm, using a H-alpha or SII filter on a unmodded camera might be stretching it a bit.

I have a set of narrow band/LPR filters but I only tend to use CLR, UV/IR or UHC/LPR filters when the sky is too bright. I only used my OIII a couple of times, and that was only because when I was shooting the moon through the DMK41, the OIII seemed to make the image more stable/crisp.
I'm waiting for a filter replacemement to come so I can modify a 300D that a mate gave me a couple of weeks ago, so I imagine then I'll get a bit of use out of the H-Alpha, SII and OIII filters to create some "Hubble Palette" images.
