Very cheap guiding system

Hi guys

The weather doesn't seem to get better here in Sydney so I spent a couple of hours last night in building a secondary guiding system to chill down my disappointment. It is made from an unused web cam and a "luxury" Televue eyepiece box
The good thing is the small 4x usb hub on the back side which the cam is directly connected and I can use the remain ports to plug my DSLR and co.
