choosing a webcam

[RA180]

Hi folks,

im looking for help with getting a suitable webcam for my scope.

Its only for use with alignmaster, so does not need to do any video or photography (I've got a dslr for that, but sadly it wont stream as a webcam).

Can anyone recommend a cheap webcam to fit a 2" / 1.25" mount?

There are a few threads on the use of webcams with telescopes in the DIY part of the forum, you will need a webcam, a 1.25" screwin adapter (replaces lens) and a 2"/1.25" adapter, but take a look at the threads and you will see photos of all you need.
