David,

The only problem with using a webcam is finding a bright enough star in the correct locations for drift aligning. You'll need to find one near the intersection of the celestial equator and the meridian and one on the celestial equator near the horizon. I normally use my DSI II and have no problem finding a star however it can be quite difficult with a normal webcam because it is nowhere near as sensitive.

Peter
