Hi Neil. 
Good to hear from you. 
Unfortunately, the image using a one-shot colour camera will not be as good as a mono camera. 
A one-shot colour camera has a Bayer Matrix built into the front of the chip. 
These are green, blue and red filters over each pixel, to produce a colour image. 
As the Quark is monochrome in Ha, down the red end of the spectrum, the camera is less sensitive than a mono as the blue and green pixels will not receive anything.
The best result will probably in white light, where a much broader range of wavelengths will be captured. 
But, I say, give it all a go. You just don&#039;t know what you&#039;ll get unless you try.
Whether you capture in colour or monochrome, the colour can always be adjusted later to match your preference. 
I hope that helps.
Dave]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Dave
Question if Im using a colour ccd like the hypercam 183c or GP290c to do solar imaging either using a quark or white light. If I set sharp cap to mono 
8 rather than raw 12 for images or ser files. Would this give the same data and processing as a mono camera.
Will the resulting image allow colour addition via photoshop.

Many thank
Neil]]></description>
