I actually saw it through two separate telescopes. One of them was a really neat little Questar that the university has, and the other is one of the larger telescopes that they keep in a dome on the roof. I'm not really sure of the specifications of the telescopes since I don't work with them very often, but I'm pretty sure the Questar was filtered to be an H-alpha telescope while the other was viewing in a broader band.
