Meade DSI II color or monocrome? I am curious if there is an advantage to getting the Meade DSI II monocrome with the 3 color filters as opposed to just getting the Meade DSI II color imager. I would think that it is a lot easier to just use the color imager. What advantage is there to doing it the hard way. (the hard way would be instead of taking one color shot with the DSI II color imager, you would take 3 shots - one with the red filter, one with the blue filter and one with the green filter and then you would overlay them with software to get an RGB full color image). Seems like a lot more work - do you gain anythign by doing it that way?
