Sounds OK, but it'd cost a fortune to produce and even more to purchase. Not only that, using it for video-astronomy, you want considerably better than 0.3lux sensitivity. Considering that a little GStar has 0.00002 at max gain, 0.3 is rather poor. Not really low light at all.

Impressive looking, nevertheless.
