Web camera

Can anyone recommend I good web cam I can get for my telescope 200p within my budget of around £200? For planetary and moon pictures

Take it you mean new? Look at zwo,altair etc

What scope are you using?

[Cornelius Varley]

The ZWO ASI120MC-S at £191 or the mono version at £207 https://www.firstlightoptics.com/zwo-cameras/zwo-asi120mc-s-usb-3-colour-camera.html .

ps it is wrong to call them webcams, these are dedicated astro imaging devices.

Thanks for that whats the upside or downside to mono Vs colour?

If you use a mono camera you will also need to use a filter wheel and LRGB filters plus some extra processing to obtain the finished image.
