[APML] Films responding to Ha, Hb, OIII

["Michael Barlow" <mikeba@rochester.rr.com>]

Hey gang, I'm new to the list,

    I've been photographing nearly two years but have never got in to the
technical side of it.  All I've been doing is grabbing film off the shelf
(color print film) at the local grocery store and department stores for
Lunar, Planetary, and white light Solar through my 8" SCT.  Just the last
couple weeks I've been grabbing shots of M31, M45, and snapping away at what
ever else I happen to see and wanted to step in to filtered photo's such as
Ha, Hb, OIII, and ect...  I just bought a Meade #911 Nebular filter for the
SCT and just learned that most films have been reformatted to virtually
eliminate responses from Ha but haven't heard anything about the other two,
Hb, OIII.  For the beginner in the filtered end of photographing in one or
all the above frequencies, Is there a cheap 35mm film that responds well
enough to learn from, color or B/W?  I.E. Until I get my feet wet I'd rather
not buy expensive Hypered film or anything that costs over $5 US per roll.
