Hi Ken,
I can only compare it to when I had the toucam through the Skywatcher finderscope as I bodgied it up to the end of that after removing the cross hair eyepiece end and then played around with the focus....
Conservatively and considering the stars are SHARPLY in focus now....I would say its twice as good as before, with the Orion mini guide scope, and it can EASILY pick up say mag 8 stars depending on the exposure length and if you take a dark frame through PHD also...
I love it. Best $119 I have spent on the scope so far.
Cheers
Chris
