I like the one shot color cameras but they are more suited for dark skies. I however live 5 minutes from downtown St.Louis. And I had a half moon to deal with also. There was a very bright blue gradient on the left of the image from the moon. But with all the available software for imaging and LP removal even color cameras can get a fair result. I used a IDAS LP filter and an IR/UV block filter as well. I used 15 min subs and the images were fully calibrated. Which is very important for color imaging.
Maxim 4.5 for acquisition and calibration
CCDOPS for combining and color processing
Photoshop CS for gradient removal and some noise subtraction
NeatImage for the finishing touch.
Thanks for the comments gentlemen.

Brian.
