I could not see any sign of fainter objects such as the Jewel Box which was readily visible in my finder scope and normal eyepieces so the idea of using it to photograph galaxies might require a really big scope. On the other hand maybe I've just not explored the options enough (I've not seen a long expose setting)
I noticed that the screen blanked regularly when the scope was moved while looking at Saturn and stars but did not do so on the moon.
K3CCDTools3 connected to the camera easily, I've not used K3CCDTools enough to know what I was doing with it.
I tried it on both my 12" Skywatcher Dob and 80mm Celestron refractor. Without tracking objects moved across the field of view way to fast to do much at all.
So far it's working but it's not knocking my socks off.
