With a bit more digging i found the FAQ at:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/PWC/FrequentlyAskedQuestionsPWC
Which confirms this.
How do you find the camera? Does it work well? How is it in low light
situations?
The previous models of that camera seem to be the defacto standard for
budget astronomy. I was more thinking about the Northern Lights when i
visit Iceland in a few months time. I'm guessing the same approach
would work. Take a video and then perform image stacking to form one
image.
