Hi Sean,

Yes, I've used this technique, I've even shot E200 with a hydrogen-alpha 
filter to make the RRGB image. Works quite well.

I haven't published those pix yet though.

I shot the h-alpha E200 last winter along with unfiltered RGB on E200, but 
I didn't get my new Tokai LPR filter in time to shoot the same objects with 
it. I'm hoping to get those shots this fall and winter.  Then I'll put them 
together and publish them.

I don't feel so bad in how long it's taking after seeing the ESO Tarantula 
images were taken in September of 2000, and only published now.<G>
