Since moving to mono I have found they cut out LP more and it's easier to process. But I agree with the above points regarding price. When starting out my modded 600D, t ring and LP filter cost just under £500. My switch to mono and filters cost over £2k (new). It's a huge investment for someone just to start. There was a recent member who did more or less jump straight into mono, couldn't get on with it and had to sell up at a loss..

Exactly, he probably lost more than the cost of a new DSLR let alone a used one.

Well, DSLR,OSC and Mono, They all make pretty pictures. Its  a matter of choice if you have the time and  lust to fiddle around with sequencing software and filterwheels etc...

On the otherhand ,if you are travelling to a dark sky location and  not in a mood to carry the fully loaded main rig . DSLR still a true companion and you will not regret and its still fun.

One airline with  the name EL CONDOR PASA couldnt find my main luggage & equipments after long distance flight. But in my hand luggage there was a  moded Sony and unmoded Canon  .

Well, that saved me from going mad  under a starry starry night sky ?.

Running chicken is a bit pinky?

Sure , does not outperform  a monochrome / lrgb quality and clarity, but its kind of nice to do photography with a DSLR.
