Very good...you can see a lot more than when you're just looking through an eyepiece. You can also make out colour much easier as well. Especially in brighter objects like nebulae and such. Although, my camera is mono, but a few people I know have the colour version of the camera and I've observed with them. I'll be getting a colour version sometime soon. I'd like a Mallincam, but they're a little expensive.

I would recommend buying one...they make it much easier to see faint detail in dim objects as well as for very good views of the brighter ones. Also, if your eyes aren't as good as they used to be, they make visual observing a much easier and more pleasant task
