xbox 360 mods

I just ordered a couple of livecams off Fleabay to use for polarcam & collimating duties and I wondered if it was possible to use just one for both polar & collimation.

I'm thinking one needs the plumbing fitting and the other needs a proper nose piece so I could foresee problems.

Am I right in thinking that imaging needs the webcam lens to be removed and collimation needs it to be still in place?

That's correct. I was thinking the and thing. Considering the cost of the Xbox camera on the bay, to me it makes sense

At this price I could buy another to have a go at imaging and then have one for each duty.

Although if I use a film cannister instead of a proper nose piece I might be able to make it fit into the focuser but also over the polar scope.
