This camera was easy to set up and use. I had a computer fail during the Eclipse and the Variscop camera disk did not have the drivers for the camera. This camera was for pointing and back up. It worked great and all needed components were on the disk. Thanks

So bought this camera eyepiece thinking it would work on a Mac unfortunately it only works on Microsoft. So I was unable to test thought about a one of two since it didn’t inform you that it only works on Microsoft software computers

Great Service and great product for the money. The field of view is small, but I like the software that allows you to set the sensitivity. Suggestion to users...Set the laptop to the darkest red background, or your night vision will be shot!

Ordered this product along with an Orion telescope. Installed the software and could not believe how horrible the software was. Tried out the camera and could not believe how horrible it was. It comes with a disk that has a link to a website so you can download a software that will make your horrible images look like something you can see. I called Orion customer service to see if I could get some tips but could not get a rep in the 22 times I called over a weeks long period. I sent it back and bought an HP web cam. Got on you tube and found a video on how to customize a webcam into an eyepiece cam and I am now taking 10 megapixel photos and recording video in 1080p of the things I find. Do not waste your time with this horrible product. This is one of the worst items I have purchased in my entire life. The customer service is also just as bad as the product. DO NOT BUY!

i used it with my 114mm reflector and it works great. so far, i was able to capture the moon in detail, the shadow of io and ganymede on jupiter, the great red spot, saturn's cassini division, orion nebula trapezium, and more. also works great with my refractor for wide field viewing. some images might need post processing but the point is, this camera can actually capture all what i saw. tweaking the exposure level helped a lot. highly recommended for a starter. although long exposure captures are not possible, necessary for objects like nebulas and galaxies.

This was my son's (13 yrs, 8th grade) favorite Christmas gift. He was able to figure it out on his own and has already made a video of the moon on our computer. The image is pretty good. This is the first camera like this we have had so I've nothing to compare it to. All I can say is that my son could figure it all out on his own and made a video that he's proud of.

Well.. it is something about price and quality. This was a $49.00 purchase, I was aware of all limitations and reviews for this product. But bad handling is not, buy any chance, something that can be related to cheap price. I've got scratches and some marks due to bad handling when they sent it to me. As it did not incur in any malfunction of the eyepiece, I decided to keep it. But you know: things coming from China sometimes are like this. I just realized it is a simple 800 x 600 px CMOS webcam. Using it is equivalent to put a 5mm eyepiece in your telescope. I found it very useful that my Linux Ubuntu system recognized it automatically with no need of additional drivers. But I found that this cam has a lot of noise in the images during night sky observations and it maybe is OK for Moon, planets but not deep sky objects. I haven't tried the Windows software which comes with the product. The USB cable should be larger. Fortunately I've both an Orion 0.5 Focal Reducer and it worked fine with this eyepiece regardless of been told by customer's service that Orion does not have an focal reducer suitable for this Eyepiece... This way I could improve my field of view a litlle...
