Quite possibly Mike ! The advantage that a webcam may have is stacking frames to compensate for atmospheric fluctuations ! I'm not sure if Ingo was particularly talking about webcams as such though ... he did say " ccd cameras " which could imply dedicated astro ccd cameras.
When I get my webcam up and running I will be able to compare my own images. I'm certanly looking forward to imaging Jupiter and Saturn with it.

But try using a DSLR for a highly magnified view of the moon and compare it to what you can do with a webcam, and you'll find a webcam better in those circumstances.
