My vote goes to the cooled imaging camera. I’ve got good experience with SLR work, nodded and unmodded, with various filters from light pollution to narrowband. The images I took got better and better and light pollution is now a lesser problem. But it’s the constant noise that bothers me-even in winter, when the sensor cools to around 7C. What I’ve seen from even moderately priced cooled mono‘s just looks so much more clean that I am going to go that way as soon as some spare cash comes my way. I had some rare opportunity to shoot with my nifty fifty at high altitude and sub zero temperatures. Those images kill everything I can take from my backyard. So given that home is where I do most of my shooting, I reckon cooled mono with narrowband is the way to go - regardless of the glass in front of the sensor.
