Two points I need to refine or forgot to say in the video:
1st:
Bigger pixel size is not always "better". The pixel size has to match with your specific telescope.
In general: For telescopes with high focal length (like my Maksutov in the baclground) you will need bigger pixel sizes, for telescope with shorter focal length (APOs e.g.) you'll need smaller pixel sizes... (also see "oversampling" and "undersampling")

2nd:
When you're working with narrowband filters you can -of course- use several narowband filters to cover a broader color variety. But in principle its more expensive: Narrowband filters (the "narrower" the more expensive!), filter wheel (very nice!) and you'll need to do several and longer exposure times. - But you'll get amazing results with it. :)

Have a HAPPY NEW Year everybody! :)

After the first Part in the second part I will help you to select a dedicated ZWO Asi camera, filter & filter drawer. I also speak about light pollution and which filter works best for YOUR astro target.

That was very interesting, I look forward to seeing how you get on. It is certainly possible to image deep sky objects with some planetary type cameras. I did a video where I tried this using an Altair Astro GPCAM2 and GPCAM3 cameras on the Orion Nebula. Both gave very pleasing results. I think my GPCAM3 is similar to your camera so you should be able to get similar results.
