Thanks all I decided to go mono after all. The bayer filter just eats up too much signal when you are doing narrow band and I really want to get heavily into narrow band. I found one at a store here in the US and I should be able to get that puppy Monday. Going to pair it with an Atik filter wheel. I'm sure that is going to get me another month at least of cloudy weather. I still haven't gotten to image with the 102GT. Had it out twice but by the time I had everything set up and drift aligned the clouds moved back in. The seeing was terrible and I kept loosing my guidestar so I finally packed it in. I think the 8300 chip size will be a good match for the 102GT. The pixel size gives me 1.9 arc sec per pixel with that scope. And I have really dark skies here. Its black to the ground everywhere but east which has a little glow. So with a camera with full sensitivity I should be good to go.
