hi Stuart, l have a Sac Mintron which is almost the same as the G-STAR only mine has a USB download as well as the AV.
these are very sensitive monochrome cameras and give great real time views downloading at 29.5 fps.
they can be used for both deep sky with sense up at 128x and solar system objects inc the moon with sense up and auto gain control off.
with a filter wheel l am sure great images could be achieved with this camera as l am going to try this saturn season.
a couple of pics with the Mintron
