This is in no way a fair comparison...I am comparing a webcam designed to give live video against a dedicated cooled CCD imager.

But as I see it their both used as guide camera's.

This is just 1 x 1 sec image uncooled I did with the ST402XME...no matter where I point the camera I pick up guide stars....it fantastic.

I could not pick up 1 of these stars to guide on with the toucam......not even 1.

Toucam $200
SBig ST-402xme $2000
A huge diffence in price but boy it does the job.
