That's what my wife says when she sees my H-alpha shots.

I gave up my filter wheel and other filters, as tri-color (narrow- or broad-band) has always been difficult for me.

I like how mono H-alpha does well on emission, but I don't like how I can't get reflection nebs....that's what I have to settle on being a mono-only wimp!

110-minutes (300 sec subs) on M-20, taken with my little Starshoot II mono, Astronomik H-alpha, through my WO 80FD w/WO reducer.

Nice one Alec! I personally love mono Ha shots.
Cheers,

Me? I've discovered I still _just like black and white_. I will pull out the DSLR when I want color...but no filter wheels for my CCD cam...nossir buddy! LOL
