I have modded a Logitech webcam for planetary work by removing the
lens and fitting a 1.25" eyepiece tube, and it works fine on the scope
in daylight. When I tried Jupiter I could go through either side of focus and get a sharp edged image, but all I got was a perfect, featureless
white disc. Altering the brightness just gave me a brighter or dimmer
view, and the contrast control didn't help either. The seeing was quite good with clear cloud belts visually. Also, Registax
won't accept it's output; will a file convertor fix this, or is the Logitech simply not suitable for this purpose? I don't
know what model it is, I've had it a long while and have no paperwork for it.
