Black and white CCD question

[carlstronomy (Carl)]

I have seen whilst looking around the web that the way to get the best images is doing seperate takes using a black and white CCD camera. During these sessions using RGB filters one at a time and a straight black and white and combining the four. My question is this if I set my colour CCD camera to black and white and use RGB filters will I get a better result than taking one colour AVI and sending it through Registax. Now I already know a colour CCD has RGB filters built in so I know it will not be the same or as good, I am just interested to know if I would acheive anything better for the extra time it would take.

Carl,
Unfortunately no.
The RGB Bayer filters are built into the camera - software make it look like sepia or B&W etc but the raw signal is what's come from the filtered chip.....

Thanks for the reply, I assumed that would be the answer but if you dont ask you will never know.
