Last night I tried out the Mintron Colour camera and this is M42 Orion with a Full Moon just off to the left it was amazingly clear. This is a 3 minute exposure with my camera attached to my Skywatcher Startravel ST80 Guide Scope and considering it's only 3 inches and my LX200 is 10" I was quite amazed! more amazing is the fact they are unguided images!!! The settings were a little hard to understand at first but I got there in the end This view is what it looks like on the laptop screen too. The Colour Mintron has the ability to show very faint detail and in colour too!
I later tried it on the Crab Nebula and was amazed to see it live on the screen too, albeit small. I took a single snapshot of that too to show you the possibily of this camera.
And here is screenshot of Crab Nebula M1 single snapshot exposure:
