To derive a new H{alpha} luminosity function and to understand the clustering properties of star-forming galaxies at z~0.24, we have made a narrowband imaging survey for H{alpha}-emitting galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) COSMOS 2 square degree field. We used the narrowband filter NB816 ({lambda}_c_=8150{AA}, {Delta}{lambda}=120{AA}) and sampled H{alpha} emitters with EW_obs_(H{alpha}+[NII])>12{AA} in a redshift range between z=0.233 and 0.251 corresponding to a depth of 70Mpc. We obtained 980 H{alpha}-emitting galaxies in a sky area of 5540arcmin^2^, corresponding to a survey volume of 3.1x10^4^Mpc^3^.
