Would a webcam like this work?

I thought it was interesting because its diameter is the same as a standard 1.25" eyepiece so it would not need an adapter and could just be inserted into the focusser after removing the lens (if this is possible at all)? I am not sure it is that simple though??
Meanwhile I got the camera bracket for my compact digital camera and it seems to work fine although I could only test it for 5 minutes before clouds came up and now they are even worse. But I could attach the camera fine and I could shortly see Jupiter on the camera screen.
Thanks for your opinion!

That looks like a Swann. The one I have has a 5mp sensor and it works fine.
It wasn't quite the right size to go into a 1.25 focuser but by modifying an old 35mm Film Canister to hold it which does fit, it was relatively smooth sailing afterwards.

Thank you for your reply. Did you remove the lens? Most people do but if the lens is not really tiny it might not be necessary.
Anyway, I also want to wait until the weather is better and I can test my camera bracket and see how it works.
The compact camera I have is not bad though and I could take some nice pics even holding the camera in my hand.
I have read an ad about the former Toucam saying it was the best: 90 fps????? Is it really true? I have never heard of any other camera capable of 90 fps videos...

Copied and pasted from the ad:
- 90 frames per second video - USB 2 Compatible - photo resolution 1.3 mega pixels - automatic face tracking
