yes you can use a H alpha filter with a one shot colour CCD.

you will lose 3 out of four pixels but still manage a decent image

There was a fine article on this subject in the Astrophoto insight magazine-I think by Alan Chen ... but I cant seem to lay my hands on this.

There is also a relationship between your system and the optimum bandwidth for your H alpha filter but I cant remember where I saw the original reference..maybe someone else can help

but I have used the 13nm from astronomik with my modded DSLR on an ED 80-it has to be modded of course-and the baader 7nm with my QHY 8, also on an ED80

Dont get the lumicon night sky H alpha filter for a refractor
