Well I was looking purely from a practical level. Darrel has experience in planetary RGB which is different. He also used a DSLR which is OSC. For DSO you do need to put in the time in subs to get the data. If he has a semi permanent set-up then yeah go mono all the way. As Fred and others pointed out, better QE & resolution (no doubt, there's no bayer matrix). Now I use a QHY8 and I did dabble a bit in narrowband. For me and I stress for me it is a real pain. I don't use a filter wheel and I'm always on the go. That's why I can't see myself having the time or patience to use a mono. I wouldn't complete anything. May be when I retire and get and Obs
