Note that there are two different kinds of H alpha filters:

1) A very narrow band for solar imaging. These are very
costly (several 1000's of $/€) and are available only for
certain telescopes.

2) A wider band filter for emission nebula imaging. These are
less costly (but not inexpensive at 100-300 $/€) and might be
available in camera filter sizes. However, they are a more
expensive for cameras than for eyepieces as they are larger.
