This is neither an endorsement nor a recommendation for any particular webcam for this purpose. It is a report of an experiment performed with one device.
A Cheap, fully automatic Full HD webcam was disassembled and adapted for attaching to a telescope.
The camera was placed at the Cassegrain focus of a Skymax 127 Maksutov telescope mounted on a Celestron AVX mount. AstroDMx Capture for Windows was used to capture the data.
Full details of the experiment plus all of the images can be seen HERE.
