Garry Honis has a set of instructions for adapting the Microsoft Lifecam HD here
http://ghonis2.ho8.com/lifecam/lifecam1.html and a nice housing for it (for astro) is available from Billet Parts UK here
http://billetparts.co.uk/catalog/ind...f7c6b5dbd39fb6 . My unit works well as a webcam after re-housing but still awaits astro first light. Too many clouds over the UK at the moment- Just missed a Partial Solar Eclipse and Quadrantid meteor maximum on the same day . Grrrrrrrrr . Hope the info is of some help.
