Ive seen some lovely images of Orion taken with a hydrogen alpha 656.4nm filter on a wide angle camera. Im still very much learning how to do this but this was taken as follows:

 

Modified Canon 60D with Astronomik clip-in 12nm Hydrogen alpha filter. Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Arts at f/1.6.

 

52 x 2 minute subs @ ISO400

AstroTrac tt320x AG Mount with PoleMaster polar alignment

 

BackyardEOS for focusing and acquisition control.

PixInsight and Photoshop CC processing.

 

100 x dark frames

150 x bias frames

 

Camera sensor temperature 12-16c.
