Hi George,

No, the only type that has a built in camera is the Meade Lightswitch series and they only really take basic planetary shots compared to either a webcam (cheapest) ($100-$500) , DSLR ($500-$3000), or dedicated AP Camera ($1000-$15000)

The Lightswitch camera is used for self alignment mainly, but can be used to take photos as well, reviews I have read state it's for "basic" photography really....

That said, check out the posts by Rolf (Skyviking) who takes some astonishing photos with a long exposure Philips Toucam.....which is basically a 640x480 webcam!

Cheers

Chris
