How are these for visual observing?
As for The_bluester's reply: Thanks for the details! it would be ideal to not have to modify the OTA itself to get going with either visual or imaging. And I plan to buy a dedicated astro imaging camera but not yet dived in depth there. Are these (like the ones from ZWO) like "eyepieces" themselves? They don't "sit on" an existing eyepiece?

For visual observing these newts are great , I also have my big kahuna the 12” f5 Goto newt dob which is unbelievable
However the quality of observing is dependent upon atmospheric conditions and the quality of your eye pieces amongst many other factors
I only use premium Televue eye pieces ( Delos , Panoptic, Ethos and Apollo 11 ) which provide excellent views in all my scopes
I forgot to mention , with my 6” and 8” newts I image both Deep Sky Objects ( DSO’s ) and planetary imaging
Cheers
