the LPI delivers it's images via USB and once you go longer than a 5m cable you get a great deal of signal loss so you have to have a comp or lap top reasonably close also the images shown on the screen are not quite in real time so unless you are tracking focusing becomes a nightmare l've tried a bit of deep space imaging with little success but apparently with some of the brighter objects it is possible. l've got my Meade tracking perfectly now and when combined with the tracking box facility the LPI has, l'm getting huge amounts of images downloaded all perfectly centered in the CCD chip.
l'm personally getting better images the more l play with the LPI but l think it's limited for DSO's. The new Meade DSI with colour filters for $500.00 looks ok.
