In a nutshell . . . Yep.

The Standard Toucam isn't sensitive enough to give detail on fainter objects. It only has a lux rating of <1.
Many Stars will show up, but not all of them.

The Modified Toucam still will not give the 'G-Star' look. Again due to the high Lux rating. You can get great detail if you expose for about 30 - 200 seconds, but that isn't exactly the 'Live' show you are after.

If you can live with having an image update itself every 30 - 200 seconds IN COLOUR then go for it. The onscreen images are great.
