Thousands of frames, and only the sharpest kept · review
A simple USB electronic eyepiece for a 1.25 in focuser, which the maker states outright is for the Moon and planets and not for deep-sky imaging.
The bottom line An honest, very cheap way to see the Moon on a screen — and a listing with no numbers in it at all.
It says what the camera is not for. “Ideal for Moon and planetary photography, but not suitable for deep-sky imaging” — that is a limit stated in the advertisement rather than discovered on the first cold night, and it deserves credit.
The sensor. The resolution. The frame rate. The exposure range. “High resolution and a fast transfer rate” is the whole of the technical description, and none of it can be compared with the camera above on this shelf, which names its chip.
Into the focuser where an eyepiece would go, then USB to a laptop. There is no screen and no storage card, so a computer is part of the setup rather than an option.
The Moon, large and live, on a screen that several people can look at together. That is a genuine thing to be able to do, and it is what this camera is for.
German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores ran from 25 € to 38 € on the day of the survey.
British Amazon store lists it in local currency, which the euro range above sets aside.
American Amazon store gave no result whatever, so the buy button there opens a search rather than an empty page.

Because faint objects need long exposures and low noise, and a simple webcam-class camera offers neither. The maker states the limit rather than leaving it to be discovered, which is worth acknowledging.
The listing says plug and play to a PC without naming a program. Cameras of this class generally appear as a standard video device and work with the common capture applications.
