Hi,
I'm interested in doing some planetary and lunar imaging. My scope is an f/15 180 mak, and will be on a NEQ6 soon.

I'm going to get a reflector sometime in the future, but would like to have a crack at some basic imaging with what I have. I have zero experience with all things photographic beyond taking pictures with my phone for eBay and classifieds here.
With a budget in mind of around $400, what would be a recommended starting point? The gear I have is in my signature, so all I'm looking at is the capture device.
Bearing in mind the limited budget, these are my questions:

1)should I consider a second hand camera?
2)what are the advantages/disadvantages of colour vs monochrome CMOS?


Considering all options, including used/second hand equipment.


Thanks in advance
Stephen
