[APML] Scanning and enhancing Halpa filtered shots

["Jeff Ball" <jeffball@zoominternet.net>]

Hello all,
I am looking for advice on scanning and enhancing hydrogen filtered film
shots on E200.  The slides look dense and red<g>  I used the Lumicon
halpha filter on my Pentax 105mm lens at f4 for one hour exposure of the
Milky Way.  I will be sending them to Kirk Rogers for scanning on a
medium format scanner.  What should we be looking for?  Will the red
channel have the characteristic bell shape curve or will it be flat?
Just looking for tips on the best way to scan.  Should we scan as black
and white possibly?  When I begin to enhance, should I just convert to
grayscale?  Are there any online resources for Halpha film shots?  I
know Jerry has mentioned he has been working on some E200 with Halpha.
Anyone else doing this?  Thanks.
Jeff Ball
