Well, I went out and got the telescope yesterday.. I spent a fair bit of time making an adaptor that would attach the webcam to the telescope eye piece.. it worked but the picture quality was awful. On further reading I've discovered that there are two different types of image receivers on webcams. 1 type is called CMOS, the other is CCD (you might recognise this from your digital camera). Anyway, the better webcams for this sort of thing have CCD. Annoyingly they're rare and expenise.. I will continue my search for one. I will not be defeated!
...the adaptor I made....
the little bits you need to remove from the webcam after pulling it apart..
