Darrell gives some good advice on webcams for Solar System imaging, but in addition to "quickest and cheapest" we should add "best." All of the good planetary images are being taken by digital video cameras. If that's your only interest right now, there's no need to look at CCD cameras. Next time you use the 1-meter telescope at Pic du Midi, be sure to bring your Webcam so you can get pictures like these. http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Board/Imaging/Number/4084483/page/1/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 Tom -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
