While monochrome cameras offer superior image quality, they require more than just the camera body. To capture color, you’ll need a set of filters (red, green, blue, and possibly narrowband) plus a filter wheel to switch between them during imaging sessions.
These accessories add to your initial investment and setup complexity. Plus, processing monochrome images demands more time and skill to combine filtered exposures into a final color image.
Plan your budget accordingly to avoid surprises!
