you can use light pollution filters on a mono camera.really one of the advantages of a
osc is that it gives you some sort of relief if the clouds roll over and you want to processes your image asap unlike running a mono setup where if i wan't build a
rgb image in one night i then have to work out how long the target will be in the sky for and split that time up 3 ways for
rgb but one can also image in automation with a mono setup to have the filter swap over and to refocus in a sequence (r,g,b) (r,g,b) (r,g,b) (r,g,b) (r,g,b) ect to even the frames out.
osc pros:
cheaper
simpler
less obstruction for fast/hyperstar
sct scopes
less time refocusing unlike mono filters where the filter sits further away from the chip and usually each filter requires different focus points .
you can take away with what frames you have and build an image if the clouds roll out.
can capture time sensitive targets in colour ie
iss moon transit,mono is two slow for this
osc cons:
not excellent in building a lum channel compared to a mono camera let's say we used
ha filter for lum
poorer results on blue channel with cheaper refractors that have
ca,mono cameras can focus blue individually due to seperate filters
osc is made off 1xred 2xgreen 1xblue pixel, it indicates that you would need more integration time over mono
rgb and the q.e is lower for a
osc

not great at narrowband imaging.
what processing software do you use ?
