Yeah, I'm using their digital camera mount, which means the camera lens is looking through the scope eye-piece. If I can get this to work in principle, then I might also get their 35mm adapter in which the telescope acts directly as the camera lens. If nothing else, this should get rid of two pieces of glass and give me more light hitting the CCD.

Even without the scope, the remote control feature is pretty cool. This guy used the feature to capture plant growth:
