Thanks Jase, good to see you jump in. I have read some good information from you while 'lurking'

From your comments it doesnt sound like the LP comment I saw would be a significant, if any, problem for the astrodon. It is interesting about the I series being for specific types of chips. I don't know when I will change but it will at some point so this is something I will consider.

1:1:1 - to be honest I am not sure what is harder? Calculating how long for each chanel or selecting the percentage when combining? Perhaps there is more to it that I don't know. Either way you seem to spend so much time processing whats another 5 mins?

I will be doing narrowband and have to consider what filters to go with. On my current camera I use a baader 7nm and am happy to change it for the new camera/scope. I would like to think about oiii and sii as well. I have made quite an investment in my equipment lately and want every opportunity to use it, full moon and all!

The stl will be going on the back of a 12.5" RC which I am currently building with optics from star instruments.. So the final product will be a stl11k on the back of a 12.5" f6.6. A much better fov then my current 110mm WO for the smaller stuff

Only concern with the stl is exposure times, pretty awful qe at Ha but I hope a good balance camera all around.

Thanks,
Jason
