QuickCam CCD Imaging

Believe it or not, the images included here of the Moon and brighter planets that I've achieved were taken with a Connectix QuickCam, taken apart and the CCD mounted at prime focus on an eight-inch SCT. All exposures were automatic, using the software provided with the camera. Check out the LHO Techniques page for more information about this inexpensive CCD imaging system.  Also, you might want to take a peek at my article in the June 1998 Sky & Telescope detailing this work.
