For the price, I'm not sure I see the advantage over a real CCD. A solid Meade or Celestron CCD only costs about $500-1500.
I agree. The sample images on the site all seem to be planetary, lunar, and solar. So perhaps the cameras aren't meant for deepsky, and thus lack antiblooming and blue-sensitivity like SBIG cameras.
For eyepiece projection, planetery, lunar, and solar photography though you won't ever do more than a fraction fo a second exposure, so the 60 minute exposure time doesn't do a lot of good, and the lack of autoguiding feature, would require a separate autoguider camera and scope. May as well use a good SLR and a $50 mount.
yeah, I don't understand how this is different from any other product thats out there currently..
