Then you should know those images did not come from the scope itself. Maybe if it was a large Dobsonian light bucket with a high-quality mirror and eyepiece but not a tiny 4.5" Newtonian reflector. It is an interesting concept but it might as well be a pointer on a tripod that pulls up the image. Not saying it isn't cool but those images did not come "through" your scope.

Wait, so it just points in a general direction of where something is in the sky at that time and then shows you a stock image of it?
