I'm guessing it would plug into a firewire port and be used exactly the same as a standard USB webcam.

Hi Spacedog,
just reading about this in 'The Sky at Night' and it seems a pretty good camera and cheap at £230 or there abouts, so let us know how you get on as this might end up in the christmas stocking.

Hi Tony,

Will do, infact if its clear tonight it will be used on the moon.  But I had to get a new laptop to get it working well so £230 for the camera and a £470 laptop to get the frame rate out of the camera!

Mike, I can't beleive you answered that :-) woof.
