Webcam or Canon D10

Posted By Robert Hardy

Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering getting into imaging. I have a 14.5" F4.3 Dobs. With a web cam you also need a computer..correct? With a digital camera you don't...correct? What is the difference in cost between the two systems and the quality of images received between the two sytems? Also is one system easier to use than another? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Barlow, Powermate, OCS?

Posted By Robert Hardy

Hi everyone,

Ok, I made my decision. It's going to be the webcam for planets. I already own a 2X Powermate. So which higher power should I go to? And which one, Barlow, Powermate, or OCS and why?

Thanks,

Bob

Mac Software for Webcams

Posted By Robert Hardy

Hi again everyone,

Is there any software that can be used for the Mac when using a webcam? It seems that I only see software for the PC and I only have Macs.

Thanks,
