KevS Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Anyone out there using OSC and quadband/duoband filters or similar? Interested in any pitfalls that may have become apparent "after the event", so to speak. I appreciate that purists will recommend mono and RGB filters etc. But I am at the stage where if I add any more spaghetti to the rig I shall have to learn Italian. Also target time in my local is sporadic to say the least and I need to make the most of it when I can. Comments Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I went from mono to colour due to the limited time we get out. I use the ASI294 and STC Duo and to be fair get some decent results. Apart from the obvious like sensitivity etc, I think they are great. I've posted a few of my more recent images if you want to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos are superb by the way.K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timastrovirus Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I haven't got any experience in the newer quad/tri/duo band filters. But I got very nice results with 7 nM Ha filter, combining it with RGB, on my Canon 350D DSLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevS Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 @tim-astrovirus Firstly Tim welcome to the backyard. I like the photos, was the Canon astro-modded? Notice from your intro post you have now gone down the "dedicated" camera route. Have you chosen OSC or mono for the Canon replacement?Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timastrovirus Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 @KevS Yes the Canon was astro-modified as well as DIY TEC cooled. My new camera is the Altair Astro Hypercam 269C Pro TEC, so again going OSC, as the Dutch weather isn't particularly better then the UK weather, so want to get the most out of the few clear nights we have.

KevS Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 @tim-astrovirus That's my thinking as well Tim. Thank you for your prompt reply. Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
