Planetary/DSO First Camera

I was going to buy either a 183mc pro or 533mc pro but due to the price I'll be sticking to my DSLR, however as I need a guide cam I thought why not compromise and get a non cooled planetary cam. That way I can test the waters and learn the ways of an astrocam, use it as a guide and maybe even try DSO if possible.



I'll be purchasing a Redcat 51 as my first astrophotography scope but I also have a Dob 8 which I could use the cam on also.



I don't want to spend more than $400 AUD and I only want coloured so my options are; 224mc, 385mc, 462mc. Does anyone have some insight into what would be better out of the 3?



I'll attach FoV with both the Cat & Dob and ZWO comparison chart
