What are the options these days for webcams that can be used for autoguiding? What's the cheapest autoguiding camera that you can get away with these days (and still get good results)? I imagine I would use it with a 80 x 400mm guide scope.

IIRC - Philips SPC900NC Webcam with 1.25" Nosepiece is suitable and sometimes sold here for aro $60-$80 used... but why bother when you can get used autoguider cams like the QHY5 or Orion Starshoot Autoguiders for aro $150-$180 used.
HTH
