Cameras for viewing

Excuse the stupid question...

I have a VC200L (8 inch F10, though I do have a reducer to F6.6) on a CG5-GT. I'm interested in seeing what display I can get from a webcam mounted to view through eyepieces.

Obviously I'm not wanting to view faint DSOs, mainly planets and stars (binaries if possible) in realtime. Can anyone recommend a webcam or similar for this kind of thing? Obviously I'd have to hand-make a frame to keep the eyepiece and camera correctly aligned.

Thoughts & recommendations (including that's a damnfool idea!!) welcome.
