I am interested in using a webcam with my ETX90, can the version of ToUCam best suited to astro work still be obtained in Sydney - if so from where?

What mods will I need to perform (make 1.25" adapter/remove/repace IR fileter/update BIOS etc) to make this useable (is there a good current list of instructions on the web somewhere?)

Thanks for your help.

Also need some advice - my ETX90/autostar mount and tripod is not good for long exposure prime focus shots (F13), I can get 15-30s without trailing only about 20% of the time, I believe this is about the limit of the mount. The image is a stack of my best M42 shots taken over a few nights - I struggling to do any better on DSOs and cannot get my camera to see some of the targets I would like to tackle that are in my limited rage (eg Eta Carina, Omega Centurai) due to the fork mount.

I would like to do more DSO photography so I am looking for reccomendations for a better mount (GE seems best) suitable for a small scope and camera, (is it worthwhile to keep the ETX OTA or should I start again) Of course I have budget limits...but I would like to be able to autoguide at some point...so I need suitable drives and ports or a least the ability to add them later....
