Curious ... what do you mean "mono"?
Mono imaging is taking frames for each of the RGB colours and combining later to give full colour ie shoot 1 hour each of red, green and blue. then stack each separately, align and convert to channels to complete. I switched to the ASI 1600mm-cooled before last Xmas, my 1200D got retired.
It's a more complex and demanding process but as you use the full sensor for each colour ( no bayer matrix ) there is far more detail and depth available and the temp control helps minimise noise. The sensor is also better adapted to astro, more sensitive to Ha for example and you can manage light pollution better.
It's a bit of a learning curve but I'm starting to get the hang of it..... I think.
