yeah, ive found any of the webcams with manual focus are really easy to dismantle. I usually find myself buying any one that looks easy to hack apart to replace the IR block filter and make cheap IR webcams for a few friends to experiement with.
The major difficulty I had when trying to do anything astro with them is the variable ability to adjust exposure settings. Some are better than others, but most of them rely heavily on 'auto' settings.
