You'll need a video USB/PCI capture card to webcam it for PHD etc... It has video and audio and 12vdc power. And of course a shoestring adapter to hook it up to a ST4 guide port. The camera is analog. You can also get a USB 4 port video capture dongle for about $8 delivered worldwide. It will only work on systems up to Windows XP/2000. Resolution of the camera is only 380 lines, but should be enough for guiding.
There are even cheaper ones but less lux .001. I think I'll get one anyway. Oh, and did I mention, they are colour.
