Hi,

I haven't tried any of these yet, but I'm planning to convert the one I found in my "junk box"...

Hi Michael,
Didn't you meet Chris Yeo at the Singastrofest2004?
He has retrofitted a Creative webcam for astro-photography.
I think Charlie also has one toucam simillarly modified...
do check with them

Chris/Charlie : If you are free, perhaps you can write and article with pictures on how to retrofit and connect a webcam for such purposes? How? Thanks!

Hi Rich,

My webcam is NOT modified for long exposures :) I can only take pictures of bright objects such as planets.

I think Micheal has already succeeded in modifying his webcam for long exposures. Do update us on the progress!

Cheers,
Chris
