Separate cameras for luminance and RGB

Hello,

I recently aquired a Starlight Xpress MX716 to replace my DSI Pro. Unfortunately, I don't have the RGB filters for it yet.

Does anyone think that using the MX716 for luminance, and then using my Orion Starshoot for RGB data, would give me acceptable results?

The MX716's grayscale sensor has a 752x580 array of 8.6 x 8.3 pixels. The Starshoot's Bayer matrix sensor has a 752x582 array of 6.5 x 6.5 pixels. Will these differences make my job harder if I want to combine data from these cameras?

Thanks for the input!

Keith

Keith,
I'll leave these more technical questions to Warren, but I did want to say you're gonna' love that camera!
Best of luck with it,
Larry
