I don't have a deep sky capable monochrome camera to try it. Well I do, but it's a low res video camera.
My DSLR has a digital monochrome filter, but it clips the histogram if I try to use it for some reason.
The other option is to leave the camera in colour mode. I've tried with cheap filters and still have CA getting through. I may need a stronger blue filter. I don't have a set of 'real' 48mm RGB filters. They are quite expensive.
The whole point of this is to do it on a budget using pieces of string, wood, duct tape and glue.
My orange filter is held in place with a blu tack like glop!
