I guess it depends on how you define "revolution". I can clearly foresee how this might lead to 100x more people getting into astronomy. The current amateur experience is to look at the Moon, look at Jupiter, look at Saturn's rings, and then put the telescope in the attic. Once this real-time image-stacking telescope that works just like an old fashioned "dumb" telescope is refined, the experience for amateurs will be so much better. So I would call this "revolutionary", in that if you graphed the # of amateur astronomers, I could see this being a critical non-linear point where the line shoots up at a much faster rate. So a "revolution" for experts? Probably not. (Although perhaps even experts will get a lot out of the speed and simplicity of it). But for astronomy as a field, possibly.
