I am not very technically technically minded and I would say I have fair IT skills. So if the monochrome presents technical a challenge in terms of processing, I am not sure I would be up to it.

It is a real challenge, I really don't know - I think it boils down to price versus time you can spend processing. I have been and quite likely will be using colour sensors for a while to come, but I know that if I have the money available I will get Mono and filter wheel as my next camera either DSO or Planetary.

I have done reasonably well with hi rez webcam with 5-10fps so I would be happy with the same high resolution at the higher rate but it is a really hard decision.
