Update: The night sky test was terrible, it is obvious that the sensor is stuffed beyond recovery. It takes clean subs now but the sensitivity is shot, I must have cleaned it too deep and impacted the pixel surfaces. Note for potential debayers: "Do not go into the Orange/Gold layer below the Bayer Matrix surface", even if it means leaving a little bit there. Lesson learned.

Not one to give up yet, I have ordered a replacement sensor from overseas ($40 USD) and it has now been shipped. Whether I try to debayer this one myself or just assemble it as another colour camera is yet to be decided.

My narrowband filter set arrived today and they fit nicely into the EOS filter drawer. I had to use two of the Teleskop-Express S/S spacer rings to prevent the threads of the T-Adaptor extending into the filter drawer assembly (about 1.5mm), but it clears nicely now.

I will report back when the replacement sensor arrives. In the mean time I will review all the online debayering instructions and work out if I want to try it myself.
