ASI Camera Official GroupWhy isn't there an Astronomical Camera that can switch between an OSC and a Monochrome mode?
I've been shootig with a ZWO2600 Pro for the last year. Although I love the results and resolution of the camera, I'd really like to take a crack at narrow band Astropthotography without investing in another expensive AP camera, althogh I understand a monochorme mode would still require the filter sets and a filter wheel. Is it possible to design a duel functioning camera? I know my Nikon DSLR can do this, or is there an engineering issue that I'm missing? If the ZWO design team is reading these posts, I think ya'll might have a huge market that you are missing.

Planetary PhotographyHow Is Imaging the New Moon Even Possible Near the Sun?
I’m genuinely confused how imaging the new Moon is even possible when it’s sitting so close to the Sun. Without a solar filter it’s obviously unsafe, but when a solar filter is on, the Moon all but disappears and there’s nothing visible to frame or focus on. Since the Moon isn’t emitting light and the filter blocks nearly everything except the Sun, how would one realistically locate and image the new Moon at all without risking equipment or eyesight? I'm thinking about this for the lunar badge and all I can think of that would be safe and effective would be to take a picture of the Sliver Moon. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.
Seestar Official GroupWhy is my Seestar s50 connection being lost and image stack progress deleted?
Hello all, I am new to the whole Astro photography scene and I've been learning my new s50 which I got for Christmas. I have taken some Luna pictures which turned out great, and decided to attempt my first nebula imaging which is where my errors begin. The telescope tracks and identifies the nebula (IC 434) well but after about 20 mins my connection drops and when I attempt to reconnect it says unable to connect, until I am right next to the telescope. Once connected it says something along the lines of "image stacking failed, deleting" and deletes all progress. Here is an image I saved manually before connection loss (ran for about 10 mins): I am new to this so I may be an issue caused by me, any idea on how to fix this? (also tips/ tricks/ suggestions are appreciated!)
