FWIW, my recent image of NGC7000/Gamma Cygni here

    http://www.astrofoto.org/gallery/ngc/ngc7000.html

was shot with a Wratten 92 on E200 (extracting only the red channel).
I haven't worked out the TP thing to get it right.

Of course, the Wratten 92 is not really cheaper since you have to get
a filter holder, too....
