I, however, looking at the side-by-side comparison, would answer, "hell yes."
Some technical detail from an older thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35172190
But looking at the terminator during a partial moon -- especially a new moon -- is quite spectacular.
Look up the other gear from ZWO the maker of the seestar.
There's something special about seeing the craters with your own eyes and then sharing that with friends. The framing & cropping, zoom, color of the sky are all unique to that experience.
Plus the moon is always looking slightly different each time, with different areas shadowed; fuzzy details one day are sharp the next.
And it's a skill like any other, which feels great to improve day after day.
