Well, it's a TV/Video monitoring camera. It's better for live view than imaging. Estimating performance of it will be hard, but I would say that it might be hard to get very good results from it.

Indeed.Ive managed to get the camera to work and have made a test vid and the image is superb,outstanding indeed.Im very,very happy.This whole set was a gift from mi friend Paulo Mesquita and it come with easycap.co.uk . Easycap has a great software and woks well.In terms of image,this camera is in a league completely diferent of the Phillips spc900.I heve great hopes for planetary image for this camera.I will use it ha a all sky camera with fish eye lens too.
