Roger,

Depends on your budget I suppose, there are some "reasonably" priced options out there eg based on the Sony ICX285AL Exview HAD design (low dark current and ABG):

Artemis285
Starlight Express SXV-H9
OpticStar 145m Ice
QHY2 Pro
Meade DSI III mono

I am sure others will chime in with other options and recommendations. We really are spoilt for choice and it only getts better as time goes by...

I have a 145m at the moment - and am very happy with the sensitivity. It should be fine for Ha as well as the Qe is at 60% or so at the relevant wavelength - but I have not got to narrowband imaging yet.

Have fun choosing!
