- Ignoring workflow complexity: Monochrome cameras require multiple filtered exposures and more processing time.
- Overlooking your target type: Emission nebulae benefit from narrowband filters, which OSC cameras can’t use effectively.
- Underestimating costs: Monochrome setups need extra gear like filter wheels and filters.
- Neglecting processing skills: Monochrome images need more advanced editing compared to OSC.
Understanding these pitfalls helps you choose a camera that fits your experience and goals.
