True, but there is still out of band signal leaking through even the best narrowband filters during longer exposures - it was readily visible around brighter stars with my ED doublet and 3nm Astrodons, so I would expect significant halos around brighter stars with achromat even with the best 3nm filters, and sharpness will most likely be also reduced in the extended objects.
