Whilst you won't be able to use it for ordinary photography (its designed specifically for astrophotography) and you wont get wide-field shots, you *will* get great images of deep sky objects like galaxies, clusters, nebulae and it will geive reasonable images of the planets. It laso give good images of the moon/sun.
Another advantage is that the software, in conjunction with a Meaqde mount, will de-rotate the image for you - you won;t need to buy a wedge.

thats something that would interest me in, in the near furture
