logitech ccd terrible quality???

Hi, I bought a Logitech cheap webcam but HD, 720p, and extracted the CCD chip, mounted it on plastic and popped it in my scope. Planning to just take a few photos of the moon...
Now the stills I have taken are really terrible in resolution...I did something like this before and had perfectly adequate resolution, although the chip may have been marginally better. I have attached a photo (it was cloudy so it is not of the sky) to illustrate how visible the pixels are. I can't find anything in the software to change the resolution. Is it just a really, really bad camera??
