Hi Robby,

I absolutely agree with you about colour. Indeed, I have heard it said that colour film shots are biased to the red. We are so used to seeing red film shots that we tend to expect the same from digital. Of course, an modded camera certainly picks up the Ha a lot better. NGC2070 is a very interesting object for colour. Here are two shots that i have done with an unmodded 300D. The first one is straight prime focus. No matter what I did I could not get any red in the nebula. 12 months latter, I shot 2070 again, same scope and camera, but with a Baader UHC-S Filter (and a lot of careful processing).

Cheers
