They're good value and incredibly easy to do. So it's a good thing to start with. You won't be disappointed.
Registar and Photoshop are used to stitch and blend the panels in a matter of minutes. No skills involved really. It's all about pushing buttons

I am thinking that you would need different filters for this. Would they be as LP resistant as the Hydrogen Alpha?
So much to learn!

Hydrogen Alpha is the easiest. There is
a lot of Ha out there. Oiii and Sii are more challenging. Sii requires a lot more exposures because there is so little of it. Oiii does suffer from light pollution and light extinction if the object you image is too low on the horizon. In a nutshell Tri-color is a lot more work. I did some occasionaly but favour Ha overall because it's quick and easy. If I want color I try to do that on new moon week-ends when I get away from a dark site and I shoot with an OSC. No filters.
