Skybrowser Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Philips SPC 880, flashed to an SPC 900 if you can find one Buy Philips Pre flashed SPC880 CCD webcam bundle at Morgan ComputersThey are out of stock so keep your eyes open. That bundle is very good and it's the weapon of choice for most of us. As for software, Sharpcap or Amcap are free but there are others.It takes a while to get used to the various settings on gain, exposure, frame rate etc. bus basically, you will need up to 2,000 frames.Additional softare you will need is Registax which takes your .avi file and processes it. All you need to do is a lot of trial and error and you'll get there in the end. Practice makes perfect and all that.If you haven't already, do download Stellarium too.All of the stuff above is free.
