CCD imaging - starting out

Does anyone have any suggestions of a good CCD (webcam) for starting out? I will be using an 8" DOB and be starting out with the moon and planets. (I have read about limitations with a DOB - but this is where I will start). I also have a lap top that I can use to hook up to the scope.

I have read some articles about using an off the shelf webcam (i.e. ToUcam Pro 840k - Mike Sallaway on this site) but see there are now reasonably priced cameras i.e Starshoot Solar System IV - $149.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Richard
