I have found that with the toucam at prime focus setting, the objects really streak across the sky. The magnification must quite high.
People say the Toucam is equivalent of a 6mm eyepiece, give or take a mm or two.

Using a barlow, it streaks across even faster - so you can imagine how hard it is to do planetary imaging without tracking, when you've got a 2.4x barlow in

I don't think you'll be able to use the long exposure mod without tracking, perhaps using eyepiece projection and a long focal length eyepiece, but that's about it.
