Sorry, but it doesn't look likely. I don't see how you are going to remove the lense and then replace it with an adapter.

This one might be more likely http://store.scienceblog.com/21-1725...SB_Webcam.html

but without the specifications for it, it is only a guestimate. Info you would need are chip specification, frame rates, lux sensitivity, what sort of compression is used in the image transfer. Most people starting out use a ToUcam as it is such a well know and reliable webcam plus the adapters are readily available for it. If you want to try yours, as long as you can get the lens out without damaging the chip or circuitry then you could try to glue an old 35mm film canister with the bottom cut out onto the camera and put that into your eyepiece holder.

btw what sort of scope are you considering using for this little adventure?
