Thanks Troy and Warrick,

I am able to do any mods required to make the cams do long exposures as you described. I will obviously be starting out doing planetary images as I will be using a dob and platform. However I would also like to have the capability to experiment with other DS objects in the future. I understand that dedicated CCD cameras are expensive so I am considering the web cam option to put my toe in the water.

The Philips SPC900NC might be a good starting point?

I am already having some success with a borrowed Meade LPI and I am looking for something of my own as well as gaining any improvements that may be available at a similar cost.
