For the price, it is an ideal camera for someone trying to get into astrophotography.
i have not used this particular model, but something similar a few years ago, and was fairly pleased with the images.
The images produced can be software processed  and 'stacked' together to improve the signal to noise ratio. But for professional usage it is not sensitive enough  (For professional SBIG cameras expect to pay 10 - 100 times the price).

Has anyone used this 1.3 megapixel digital eyepiece?  What is the image quality like on your PC?  Does it compare to what you see with the telescope?

Meade 12.4mm 4000 Series Super Plossl Eyepiece

Meade Series 4000 eyepieces yield the widest possible fields of view, consistent with pinpoint edge-of-field sharpness and long eye relief-and yet with extremely low astigmatism, spherical aberration, and off-axis colour. Incorporating 7-layer multi-coatings and edge-blackened optics for optimum image contrast, these sophisticated 4 to 8-element designs permit levels of optical performance generally impossible to achieve with eyepieces of fewer elements.
All Series 4000 eyepieces include a soft rubber eyeguard, custom fitted to each eyepiece with a bayonet mount. The eyeguards fold down for eyeglass wearers, and in fact the folded eyeguard shields eyeglasses from coming into contact with the metal eyepiece housings. Rubber grips are provided on all but the three shortest focal length Super Plössl eyepieces.
meade40001-1.gif
Super Plössls: Designed to utilise the very latest in optical glass types, Meade 4-element Super Plössls are excellent general-purpose eyepieces. For observing hairline lunar and planetary detail, splitting close double stars, or for resolving faint nebulosity in deep-space, Meade Super Plössls optimise the performance of any telescope type, whether f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain, f/16 refractor, or f/4 reflector. All of Meade's Super Plossl eyepieces shorter than 32mm are parfocal.

* Apparent Field of view: 52°
* Diameter: 1.25in
* £45.00

Planetary Eyepieces

Here's the problem: wide-field eyepieces have 6-8 lenses, often grouped in pairs, to achieve a wide and flat field of view. But these lenses often bring light to focus at different points across the field of view. Not a big deal for faint objects. But this becomes a problem for brighter objects.

Another problem: the multiple lens surfaces scatter light which causes distracting halos around bright objects and reduced contrast of bright and dark features.

Since the moon and planets reveal the most detail under higher magnification, a good planetary eyepiece has a short focal length, typically 3-9 mm depending on your telescope.

And the good news with fewer lenses and a narrower field of view, planetary eyepieces often cost less than wide-field eyepieces.
