Hi Serena,

I'm using a Philips Toucam Pro model 740. I took the insides out and
mounted it in a plastic work box I bought and Radio Shack, a local
electronics store. Several local friends wanted to see pictures of what
I did so I'll post it here too then I get something up on my website. I
used the software that came with the camera to obtain images and
downloaded free software from the internet for image processing. All
total I have about $85.00 USD for every thing. There is a good web site
at http://www.astrabio.demon.co.uk/QCUIAG/main.htm

I did the stacking and processing with Registax, available at
http://aberrator.astronomy.net/registax/index.html

Thanks again - Cal
