Yea, I have an ST-80 now and thinking to upgrade my scope.
But a friend of mine suggested to upgrade to cool mono CCD/CMOS instead and be blown away by the result.
I'm pretty sure NB with achromat would do the job, nice round tight stars. But not so sure about LRGB, hence this question posted everywhere.
Before this, I had a lot of doubts because I definitely gonna get a lot of halo in L, but suggestions to use RGB or even Ha to replace L seems to work well. But still, like some here pointed out, individual R G B bands are too broad, especially towards the violet/blue, and post processing part to deal with different star sizes proves to be tough.
So before I committed to a cool mono cam, I was hoping to see some examples of how this is done.
