Yes, I was most certainly having fun browsing the lunar surface the other night with this camera. It is both an excellent guider and lunar imager.
A DSLR in live view mode connected to a computer may offer a similar image and resolution. However, the DSLR won't be such a good guider
After only a few days with my DMK 41, I wouldn't part with it. It fills its niche well.
