Indeed. H-alpha is deep red and beyond the Gamut of all LCD displays.
I thought I gave it a "golden" rather than "brown" look....that said, it's now brighter and more yellowish (you may need to refresh your browser)

Instrument heat has not been a problem. The Etalons keep the heat out. That said, I do all my solar runs in the morning to keep both local and day seeing at bay.
