Thank you for that...I did google but did not find what you told me in my initial search and I had thought the band was different but could not recall its details nevertheless I did wonder if a ordinary Ha filter would be a step above white imaging so with the experts gathered here I thought it was a good opportunity to ask. Thanks again.
