Hi Luca -

I enjoyed seeing your image on Spaceweather yesterday - the feeling of perspective with these spots close to the edge is wonderful.

SkYnyx monochrome vs color

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Jim -

Go mono!

You will enjoy better resolution and greater sensitivity (when using it unfiltered). With a filterwheel you can take advantage of filtration to moderate the atmospheric turbulence when imaging the moon. It is a little more work to image the planets with RGB filters - but the narrow band filters will help improve the image stability over using a color camera.

Be sure to give the DMK firewire cameras a look too...

Alan
