How Much Difference Between Mono or Color for Guiding

I plan to get SV305 Pro as my guide cam. But it is a color sensor. There is a mono version of it (SV305M Pro), but I don't know how much difference is in case of guiding.

For more information, I actually want to use the guide cam as a planetary too, if possible. But there is a cheaper option if only for guiding (SV905C). Is SV305 much better for guiding than the SV905?

Thank you in advance!

MLAstro SAL-33 Or TeSeek HM-17PE

Hi, so I want to buy my first mount and after some search and saw some discussions, my choice is between these two mounts, MLAstro SAL-33 or TeSeek HM-17PE.

TeSeek mount is cheaper but the MLAstro is better especially for PA. The thing is if I go for MLAstro, I need to compensate with other stuff, so the planned rig will go like this:

1st option:

- MLAstro SAL-33

- SVBony SV555

- Canon EOS 600D (I already have this)

2nd option:

- TeSeek HM-17PE

- Askar 71f

- SVBony SV605CC

Eventually, I'll buy SVBony camera, Askar 71f, and SV555. But those rigs option that I'll get later on November since this batch of MLAstro probably will arrive on November. For other equipments, it's the same, I only compensate scope and camera.

I hope I can get advice about this. Thank you in advance.

Best Way to Use 2" Filter with DSLR and Camera Lens

I plan to buy SV220 2" filter for my DSLR (Canon 600D). For now, I plan to capture wide-field images with 50mm lens. In the future, I plan to buy Askar 71f along with SV605 camera. However, I don't know the best way to use the filter with my DSLR and lens once I buy it.

I found this filter from ZWO, but I’m not sure whether it’s the best option or if there’s a cheaper alternative.

Thank you in advance!
