Has anyone used an Orion Starshoot Video Cam?

Hi,

I've been looking with some interest at the Orion Starshoot Deep Space Video Camera, but descriptions in the net still leave me with some questions. Can you simply plug it into a laptop via the USB connection and 'live view' what your telescope is looking at, and if so, what is the quality of that image?

And can its sensor pick up more detail and color than your eye would looking through an eyepiece?

Thanks,

The one we have at the club can see Saturn Ok but it's not amazing as far as I can tell - I noticed it was a similar sort of grainy image as a QH5Y at F10
