It means that you'll be able to take pictures of only those DSOs that have a very bright star. For me it's the only one and it's Lagoon nebula.

With a modded one there are a lot of others it can track in autoguiding software.

What magnitude stars will an unmodded webcam be able to work with?
Cheers
