I'd say for astro imaging it would work, it might be a real killer planetary imaging camera? who knows.. The sensors small size might make it a little tight for deep sky imaging..

that would be nice for the price, i pushed it in darkness tonight and found a stuck pixel at the centre bottom of the screen. don't think it would cause me any griefe as it is at the far bottom. little bit of noise when i pushed the brightness up above 8/10ths. does appear to adapt to the IR spectrum in darkness from the appearance.

all i can do is wait for a clear night.
