I would like to try imaging but don't want to buy an expensive camera, can anyone advise on a good webcam or similar to get started with.

It's great to have a place to come and ask questions.

Thanks Rob
Rob,

I am also a Newbie. I was fitting a finder onto my scope and some how aluminium debris got into the OTA. As the scope is. Catadioptic there is a corrector plate that prevents ingress to the OTA. I was as nervous as hell, some encouraging and some cautionary words from advanced Astronomer had me off and onto You Tube. YouTube is brilliant I really don't know how we ever got things done before Youtube.
Sensible questions on this page are invariably rewarded with sensible answers and those answers come from varying interpretations of the same problem, simply invaluable!
