I took a 144 megapixel image of the moon tonight. Composite image to show it against a rich starfield.

I have been reading a lot to decide on what camera to buy for moon shots through my Mak 127 (Nexstar SLT 1500mm).
I saw on Twitter that you are using the ASI178MM, which is my own choice (and helped me confirm a posterior) :)
What filters would you recommend to go with it? I'll start with a monochrome IR pass 785nm but should I also move "fast" on a wheel and full LRGB filter set? eg to shoot in red or green when seeing is better? (color is nice but not what I am after to start with)
Thanks a lot, and continue the awesome job and sharing :)

This telescope was mounted on a Hobym Traveller mount!

Guessing you had to use a tracking device of sorts? Which one, if you don't mind sharing.
