Hey folks,

I have a Stock Canon EOS 6d Mark ii and I'm not sure which H-Alpha filter is the best for this model to get the best out of it.

I was looking for Astronomik filters but unfortunately they are not compatible with this specific model.

Any suggestions based on knowledge or own experience?

I am surprised this question wasn’t answered yet. I’m interested in such a filter, too. Anyone?

Astronomik does make clip-in filters for full-frame cameras as well. And I would test out the 12nm H-alpha filter

Yes, it does, except for EOS 6D mark ii.

it says on their website that the clip-in filter is not compatible with this particular model

If your camera is a stock DSLR, there's very little point in getting an Ha filter.  The response of most DSLRs at the Ha wavelength is low (30%?), because of the standard UV-IR cut filter.

No doubt the reason nobody has answered, they don't want to say there is none.  There is none.

Best that you buy a cheaper dslr and then remove the uv it cut filter
