Mono or colour camera for asteroid hunting?

Your answer raises a question.

I have been looking at the BinTel site. They have a 6.1-megapixel CCD colour astro camera (Orion brand) for $2,200. My budget may be able to stretch to that.

Do I need to stick with a mono camera though if I want to submit accurate position reports for asteroids / comets though?

Many thanks,

Paul Floyd.
