Please tell me if I have read this right about your LRGB rough ratio

Exposure time
3:1:1:1 = L-60mins : R-20mins : G-20mins : B-20mins
2:1:1:1 = L-2hrs : R-1hr : G-1hr : B-1hr

I have been using my 294MCp for my SCT8 & ED120 and have a 183MCp for my ED80 and SCT8 hyperstar. I have now just bought a 294MMp. I know its old, but it matches my aspect ratio & pixel size of my colour Cameras. I just could not find a new model camera that had large pixels to pair up with my SCT with .63 reduce like the 294MCp.

I'm picking up my Narrow Band filters this weekend... the rabbit hole just got deeper

Cheers

Hi Wayne,
Yeh those rough ratios are ok but again let your camera and rig be the final judge after imaging for a few months or so.
There’s no hard and fast rule only that Luminance is your detail so one would expect to gather more luminance than colour filters. Some folk disagree and just go RGB but in my limited experiences Luminance is “king” especially with the 2600MM which is a tremendous camera.
Good luck with your Mono journey

Martin

PS: I see that you image from the South Coast NSW , what rough location ?
