Thanks for the indepth reply, just the information I was after!
It looks like I'll head down the ToUcam path - while I <b>do</b> want to do deepspace photography, it's simply impossible with my setup so I'm not going to bang my head against the brick wall over it.
I'll stick to Luna and the Planets for now and when I save up enough for a good solid Atlas EQ mount or something, then i'll get a Meade DSI or send the ToUcam off to get modified or something.
Great first shot of Jupiter too! That's the sort of progression i'm hoping to get because my digicam efforts severely limit the number of frames I can capture to stack! Especially without a steadypix adapter. Moving the tripod in and out is almost as bad as banging my head against a brick wall.
Thanks again, now I just gotta sell this Nikon that I don't need anymore and buy the webcam from adelaide. I've compared prices of Adelaide vs scopetronix (incl postage etc) and they work out about the same, so I may as well buy local and it should arrive sooner.
