Hi Simon,
It connects to the telescope by means of a c to 1.25" adapter or a c to t-adapter. The output is analogue video that can connect to an analogue tv input or via a frame grabber to a computer .the frame grabbers(like easycap) can be obtained for around $10 on eBay .they consist of a dongle that plugs into the composite video cable from the camera and into the usb2 port of the computer.Hope this gives you a better idea of how to operate one.Just like all ccd cameras they can be used with G - star capture software available free from the myastroshop website.All the pictures I attached were obtained using the G star capture program, stacked in DSS and processed in photoshop.
