Yes, I'm only doing monochrome for now.  In my film days, my primary work 
was black and white fine art photography.  As such, I still have an affinity 
for black and white in astrophotography.  However, as a science value, 
accurate color rendition for celestial objects is important and should be 
conveyed.  I've done some color work with a one shot color camera with mixed 
results.  I'll continue black and white with the ST until I've mastered 
image control.  Besides, I think Ha filtration is very appealing in black 
and white images.

Thanks for your constructive comments.  I'll certainly put them to use.
