What you need is a mono camera, and then you colourise the pics later.

I think Derek uses a GSTAR-EX mono camera (could be wrong!) , others use the point grey grasshopper or similar cameras like the DMK41.

Like planetary, many people capture a mono video file and then stack the results to get those images you see posted here.

The Ha light doesn't work very well at all with a colour camera.

I just want to ask how did you get it in such detail and with that colour?

I Have a Lunt 80mm Double stacked with b1800 filter and i cant get good pics for the life of me.....

Photos turn out pink with very little detail.
I have just recently bought an Orion Deep space imager pro V2, and a Meade monochrome camera.....to try andget nice pics....

What camera did you use to get his amazing photo?

Thanks
