I suppose this is really morphing into a discussion on if a cam/OTA combination producing about 3.8 acrcseconds/pix is going to produce nice results or disappointing ones in reasonable seeing with the processing tricks that are reasonably available.

I could cobble stuff together to test it with my old 350D camera as it would produce a similar image scale but given it does not do bulb over USB and does not talk to Windows 10 (Or even Win7 in my experience, I only have 64bit versions of that) it would be a lot of work to get meaningful length subs and darks, and dithering. I would more or less have to have two PC's running the show plus my mount itself (For the SNAP port to get subs longer than 30 seconds) and manually commanding a dither after every sub! with one PC running the mount and guiding through my SCT with the cam piggybacked.
