I am not familiar with an OWB filter. I am familiar with a Xnite CC1 filter which is commonly used to restore "regular" colour.

Does it affect Ha sensitivity? Not a custom white balance - no, that's a firmware adjustment not a hardware adjustment. But a filter that might. The camera UV/IR block filters are pretty harsh because mods often replace them with a Baader or Astrodon UV/IR block filter.

I have a modded Nex 6 I have to get to first light soon. I should do that. Your image is inspiring me to get off my butt and finish that project.

Greg.
