Alternative to SPC880/900...?

[collangm]

All,

Thought I'd get into astro-imaging by purchasing a pre-modded SPC880 webcam (seeing as Venus in transiting Jupiter at present) from Morgan's. Trouble is it seems these things are now out of stock will little chance of them getting anymore in. As I don't want to pay £60 for what is essentially a £14 webcam on the usual fleabay/ab&s, does anyone have any alternative suggestions that are as good (or better) for modding and using for planatary/lunar imaging?

Many Thanks,

Gary
