Guys, could you please advise quality combo where what would be seen in the telescope can be seen also remotely on TV-live? What camera and other additionals you would recommand?
Might be those are my future plans for winter times of cold and laziness.  Budget is not a limit.

I would suggest the Mallincam system. It is a Hypered real time camera system.

A close second to the Mallincam is the Gstar, monochrome or colour.
a fraction of the price, available from Astroshop Australia.

TV or Lap Top? The old Meade electric eye will put a B&W picture on a TV. It's no Mallincam, quality or light gathering wise, BUT it's no Mallincam price wise either. Old Meade DSIs are going cheap now. These will put a view up on a lap top, for under $100 is you shop a little. Plus if you get the AP bug, they do that too. There's alway building an a-focal web cam mount too. That cost me a wopping $18. Again for use with a lap top.

Keep a close eye on the used market and if you see a Hyper Color Mallincam - grab it. Meanwhile put your name on the list there is usually about a six month wait and sometimes more for this camera as they are all hand made by Rock Mallin in Canada. They cost about $1200. The color is worth it believe me, many popular nebulas just explode with color and detail with this camera, and you can plug it straight into a TV or monitor without any computer needed. There is a small learning curve but generally the settings are very easy - it also has a lot of parameters I haven't even explored yet after a year of experimenting.
