    Good budget camera
  

*by O***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2016*

Worked right out of the box with the Mac software. Easily aligned and centred with live view. Camera software and stacking software both good (Mac versions in my case) but you'll need to search online for help with the stacking software. The tacky looking picture can be peeled off the metal casing. No heating problems. Recommended if you're trying planetary/lunar photography for the first time.

    Astrophotography
  

*by J***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2014*

A very convenient unit to fitting on a Newtonian Telescope. The imaging software is fairly straightforward especially if the user has experience of Photoshop and stacking software and processes.
