QHY5L-II a good choice?

[Stardust]

I have a QHY5 for guiding which does the job and an Atik 1C that I tinker with webcam type stuff. I am thinking of replacing both with a QHY5L-II colour.

Although it's primary  role be for guiding, the reason for colour is that I like to have a go at Jupiter & SAturn and don't have filters for mono. I guess a mono would be fine for luna work.

Would I be missing out if I went for the colour one over the mono. I assume it will be a good leap forward on the two cameras I currently have.

Any thoughts or pictures taken with this camera would be good.

Satur + color camera will be hard to do due to low altitude (atmospheric disperdion). So you could pick mono and shoot planets in mono with one filer plus guiding and lunar imaging.

In either way. The QHY5L-II color or mono. Both will blow away the old QHY5. No contest here really.

It´s a very good planetary camera (and guider) for the price.

You can check on Astrobin (for example) and see what People do With this little camera.

I just read another post where comes out well. Having had sa go with thre atik which is basically a modded Phillip web cam I think the image scale will be very small in my scope. So realistically guiding and lunar will be the main uses. With this in mind im leaning towards the mono. I assume coloured filters will enhance detail and the cam will have better resolution?

For true color images you should use RGB filters, not color visual ones.
