Thanks for the nudge!
Firstly, to not see colour in Orion with a Gstar colour is either a duff camera, a duff cable, a duff user or a b/w monitor!!!
As usual in astronomy, there is no correct answer. A high sensitivity B/W camera is a must in everyones kit bag as they are just a whole heap of fun. The Gstar range are the most flexible is terms of settings, but the watec 120 N+ is most user friendly. My personnal experience says the the public do like to see a bit of colour in planetary views though, so the answer is get one of each!
Colour Malincams are superb BTW - they are modified Mintron (like the gstar) cameras with some wizard electronics for taking long expsures. The best part though is the thermoeletric cooling which makes a massive difference during the warmer months.
