HI, No problems using colour camera.
I use a ZWO asi 120mc, also a Gstar EX4.
70mm f300 refractor with a diagonal. home made.
I have also used my ZWO asi 294 pro.
I have also used a 90mm f5 refractor.
all these piggybacked on my 10inch F4.5 or my 8inch F5.
all with great results.
John.

Hi, yes mine works fine mainly on direct show as I use it mainly for polar alignment.

Dear Robin,

This would be great help when looking back as to the conditions of the setup when a particular image was taken.
Thanks John.

Hi agn Brian, Yes, yes, that link SKY WEATHER was very close to what I have in my modified eyepiece. It is doing very much what I am after. If I could get that effect in a camera it would solve the problem. I have turned up a short extension tube for between filter wheel and the scope focuser. I int...

Brian, Well as for the Gstar EX the camera itself died no output from it. I'll have to dig it out and see if I'm able to coax it back into any sign of life. Gee you know we are possibly lokking ten years back but I think I know where to look for it. We'll see. Yes there is a solar filter placed over...

Can I start thanking for those comments and ideas. Its certainly put my brain back into gear. I'm 78 years old so all this mental exercise is good for the gray matter. Ok this occultation is some thing I have been playing with ever since I saw it work with the Gstar ex mono camera. I do a lot of wor...
