I haven't yet ventured into the process of getting a Mallincam or the like to begin my adventure into Video Astronomy, until I am more financial, but during my research I came
across these things on ebay... Maybe a gimmick but for the price somebody else might have already used one and can advise the outcome..
I have included some of the description from the ad below as well as a link.... I haven't got one but wanted to see what others think...
Astronomer’s new best friend
This easy to use digital eyepiece for telescopes connects to the USB port on your computer and gives you a real-time image from your telescope-- directly on your computer screen! This is the best way to view high resolution images of the moon, stars, sun, solar systems and more, and without having to bend over your telescope and squint with one eye to enjoy the heavenly attractions. If you own a telescope then this digital eyepiece will make using your telescope easy and fun again for the whole family.
High Quality Images
The image quality of this digital eyepiece is simply amazing too. This is because the G227 uses a 1/4 inch 1.3 megapixel image sensor for delivering high image quality and remarkable detail like you have never seen before. Included with this digital eyepiece is a DVR software kit for recording those beautiful images in 1280x1040 video or photos. This makes sharing your high resolution images with your friends, family, or the internet, easier and more enjoyable than ever.
