Planetary webcams with good Linux support?

I'm looking to get a better webcam for doing planetary shots with my 10" dob. I currently use a Logitech webcam that I had lying around unused, but I think it's the limiting factor in my setup as it can only do 5 fps.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a planetary CCD camera that will work well under Linux? Ideally via a V4L compatible driver.

I recently bought a mono QHY5 second-hand for this purpose, but I'm struggling to get any kind of result with it.

Don't worry recommending ones if you have read that they are supposed to work under Linux etc, I'm just wondering if any members have real experience using one that they would recommend?
