Yesterday I managed to get first photons through my 50mm lens at f/1.4 with a 15 nm Astronomics H-alpha filter in front.
Signal was quite noisy, but sufficient to get Barnard's loop even with moon up at mag 4 sky. The H-alpha was combined with a previous taken white light shot.

and in the Canon_D60 review (section tips).
