Halpha and solar cycle

As one who has been impressed with the views through friends Halpha
equiped scopes, I was wondering if during the current "down cycle" of
solar activity if those filters will be rendered more or less useless.
I know that sunspot activity will decrease now that we are on the
downside of the 11 year cycle. But does that also equate to less
interesting Halpha activity?
