# Advanced Topics — Cameras, Color & Filters

> Advanced topics: the Bayer color mosaic, mono vs color cameras, narrowband filters, and RGB/LRGB/Hubble-palette color.

Deeper material once the fundamentals are in place: how **color cameras** reconstruct color from the **Bayer mosaic**, the trade-offs of **mono vs one-shot-color** sensors, how **narrowband filters** isolate emission lines to image through light pollution, and how color is assembled in **RGB, LRGB, and the SHO Hubble palette**. Each sub-page goes deep on one.
