Filip,
Which UVIRCUT did you use?
I am using Rocolax (from ebay), according to graph supplied by manufacturer, it is supposed to pass Halpha.
Gary Honis also sort of claims this filter is OK...
However, I am not totally convinced this is the case, I couldn't see much difference between photos taken with modified 450D+filter and my standard 60D without filter.

However, it seems Rocolax filter is beneficial when used in combination with 60D on my Canon 400 f2.8L at full aperture - stars are not bloated, but with 450D the effect is somewhat visible.
