I have been using an unmodded toucam in combination with a 60mm f/11 tasco refractor. It can sometimes take a bit of time to find a bright enough guide star, but I have always found one.

I recently had an adpater made so that I can use the toucam with my Skywatcher finderscope. I tried it out last week and it worked brilliantly. Lots of stars to choose from.

I am now waiting on the arrival of a second hand Atik 1HS II webcam. It's basically a modified toucam (long exposure and cooled). The bonus is that it's mono so it's more sensitive than my current toucam.
