[APML] Red / H-alpha work with film



 
The inspiration for this "idea" is from Robert Reeves most excellent book
WIde Field Astrophotography as well as some of the H-Alpha pictures
the CCDers are posting.  I was thinking of using a red filter in my mag 3.x
skies and shooting say M42.  I don't want to deal with TP and hypering
etc so was wondering if E200 would be a reasonable film.  Scan the
image and take only the red channel, then convert this to B&W.  I hink
you would end up with a decent looking B&W which one can do from the
backyard.
 
I'm guessing a true H-alpha filter would have way to much a filter
factor to consider film?
 
 
Thanks for any comments,
