Purchased a 533MM and 8 position 1.25" filter wheel. The LRGB filters were in stock, but Chroma have not responded yet to the dealer regarding my order of a UBVRI set of filters. Not even sure the time involved yet, and it's been two weeks. My DSLR is no longer functional, so took this opportunity to upgrade. Since we FINALLY are having a string of good weather, would like to get back to monitoring my 5-6 SNEWS stars and others visible reliably from my yard.

Using a Green filter and reporting as TG data as I did my DSLR should be equivalent I think, or would IR/UV be an issue with this technique?

I cannot think of an issue here, but wanted to check before beginning to upload data, and have to go and delete a pile of observations.

Thanks!

Transmission curves will tell you

The manufacturer should publish transmission curves online. Inspecting them will give the answer.
