Hi Poncho,
Webcam ( or DSLR with movie mode) can get you planetary video for stacking or even lunar pix, single frames or video.
Not so good for Deep Sky but it has been done by some with short exposures and many frames.
Synscan will track but you will have field rotation problems in long exposures.
Have a go with the Webcam, nothing to lose, everything to gain. Careful you don't start the slide down into the expensive black hole of Astrophotography like us poor souls.

Plenty of advice on here to get you started. Heheheheh
