Using HA Filter with a colour CCD

I have seen some great shots on this site from people using B&W CCD and filters inc HA filters with great results. The question I have is can I use a HA filter or and an O111 filter when shooting with a Colour CCD like the QHY8.

I would guess that longer exposures would be required, but wanted to know if it would add detail to my light shots if some stacked were via one of these filters? I have been looking at them and have been looking at the Baader and also the Lumicon. Thier seems to be a large difference in the price so I am not sure about the Lumicon being that it is half the price..

Any assistance would be appreciated


Regards
Mardy
