This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. So, you have a separate guide for luminance/monochrome and a separate guide for color filters?

No, there was only one guide. The mount is just one! And the guide mainly compensates for the mount's tracking errors.
That setup is no longer available. The guide was given to my granddaughter, a first-grader, for her beginner astronomy lessons, and the small apochromat was swapped without a second thought for a Newtonian 200/1000 with a corrector.
