Lodestar X2 mono vs Lodestar X2 colour

[laser_jock99]

I need a second guide camera/imager to supplement an existing SX Lodestar X2.

Is there any mileage in buying the colour version for quick colour imaging exercises?

I assume the colour version is equally as sensitive as guide camera but what are the like on DSO's?

Seems to have been covered previously in depth here:

The consensus of opinion seems to be if you can afford it get both!

The colour Lodestar is about 60% the sensitivity of the mono equivalent version as it uses pale CYMG filtration:-)

Lodestar X2 Colour now on order! Will try and do a comparision at some point.
