Can anyone suggest a decent webcam?

[EnigmaXXIII]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone is able to suggest a decent webcam for Astrophotography? - I'm using a Mac as my primary laptop so it would be great if one was compatible with that.

Thanks,

John.

Depends on the scope u have & the mount, I managed this with a cheap X-Box cam last night.

Capture 12_9_2012 7_44_02 PM.bmp Not amazing but for a cheap camera u can do alot worse.

if you look at my website www.mauton.co.uk I also took this with an xbox webcam + 200p Dob scope.

I should be adding more images in the next 24hrs (just really started that web page).
