A clarification on mono vs osc (16:20). 1 hour of integration time with mono is pretty much the same as 1 hour of osc. Mono does not require more integration time than OSC (if anything, you can get away with a little less integration on the mono). Mono does take a little more effort to process. The main risk with mono on a single night trip is if clouds roll in before you get all the colors. This of coarse can be mitigated by using filter offsets and using a sequence that grabs LRGBL. I hear "mono needs more" or "takes longer" a lot, but it's a misunderstanding that a lot of people have, which unfortunately steers many away from trying mono after they've cut their teeth with their first osc.
Most people choose their telescope and mount first. That is usually a far bigger investment than the camera most of the time. You will need to have a telescope system that works for your needs and life style. We would pick the camera afterwards. But each person's approach is different. -Kevin

Should you choose the camera first, and then the telescope, or the telescope and then the camera?
