Webcam or DSLR?

[Peter Laing]

Hello again, sorry for the barrage of posts here, but I'm a newbie hungry for information.

I've understood from advice and reading posts on here that astro-photography is a minefield, with significant investments required to get reasonable results. I'm therefore not expecting miracles from my circa £300 telescope when I eventually get around to choosing one.

I know you can but adapter rings to mount a DSLR onto the telescope, but I was told that many use webcams instead for imaging planets. But how do you mount these on the telescope?

Any recommendations for particularly suitable webcams?

With the most comonly used webcam (SPC900 or "flashed" 880) the lens is removes and a 1.25" adaptor fitted...

Checkout the 880 from Morgans...
