colour or mono cameras

Just keeping the discussions going and maybe help non av astronomers understand benifit of av over other image capture

Me personally I love colour images but you can't beat the detail from a mono camera...my goal is a dual cctv imagining rig..the Phil dyer camera is of big intrest to me with the longer exposure than the samsung scb2000 now if I can get a mono camera as well and combine both data hoping it may produce quite good images. ..been keeping an eye of Gina's posts using dedicated astronomy cameras with intrest.

We always use mono video cameras for outreach as visitors will not visually see colour in DSO's with either ours or their telescopes.

Mono - mainly because of the enhanced sensitivity especially when combined with narrowband or light pollution reduction filters which if using colour cameras would upset the colour balance anyway.

Colour ...because I don't get enough time due to weather. ... anyone using a filter wheel with rgb on a mono video cam was my next question to mono video users and if so can you post some unstacked and stacked images. ..Davy
