Actually, the Meade LPI Imager is a VGA resolution color CMOS chip and DOES do high quality planetary images with it's included software.
As I have said, the latest CMOS webcams are a different beast to what was around afew years back.
Here's a test I did last night(non telescope..........yet):
Logitech Quickcam............4 years old.............tested outside at night, imaging the dimly lit street/neighbourhood. Result?..............nothing....... .blackness, lots of noise, only thing visible was the street lights themselves...........over exposed as manual control was not employed.
.
Microsoft VX5000 : same test.............street and areas visible, dimly lit houses visible, low electronic noise. Omce again, only auto settings were used.
Point is..................BIG difference between two CMOS based chips/webcams..........?????????
