The Lunt35 or Coronado PST (40mm) are the usual entry points to Ha solar observing.
When you consider the optical accuracy required to provide the safe filtering of the light and provide detailed views of the Sun's surface and chromosphere, they are relatively cheap solutions.
A few years ago the basic Ha filter started around $5,000
now you can get the same performance for a few hundred dollars.
