Hi,

I'm cautiously (cheaply?) approaching guiding by testing out an old webcam to attach to a 50mm finder. The webcam works fine on the laptop, but when I start PHD and connect to the camera, no image displays. I haven't connected the main scope at this point; just seeing whether the webcam can work. The PHD site talks about finding an ASCOM driver for the camera, but I don't know that this will exist for a generic webcam (VIMICRO); well I can't find one anyway. I know others have used webcams, so is it just a specific list that will work?

Thanks,
Bruce
