Thanks for looking everyone,

CLOP, I started with an 11" SCT and a flipmirror so I had the expensive parts already. If you want to attempt this I recommend the Phillips SPC900NC webcam or a webcam with a CCD imager not CMOS. I also highly recommend K3CCD, free for 35 days then $49 registration fee for camera operations and Registax for stacking the images which is freeware but I'm sure there is other software out there. These are just what I used. Stacking is really the key. The image of Saturn were 1200 separate AVI images stacked with Registax software. BTW, the first image was pretty much done with Registax in full automatic mode with some manual Wavelet adjustments at the end. You will also need a PC of some type to attach and control the camera. I used a notebook for its portability to the outside.

Finding Saturn was my big problem because of the size of the sensor. It helps to make sure everything is aligned before you start. Focusing is also an issue that will need to be addressed but the K3CCD software does have an option that helps with this.

This certainly was fun doing and the results are better than I would have believed with a $70 camera. BTW, you will need and adapter to attach the camera to the scope, $25 and an infrared filter to replace the one from the original camera lens that will be removed, $18.

Well worth giving it a try and as shown the results can be amazing even for a webcam beginner.
