I am a genius!

Really I am, but underappreciated.

I got a new internet webcam today, and modified it.  It is now a CCD camera. (go Any, Go Any, Go Any!) should be much simpler to use than the Acuter but the Acuter has its purposes still.

I will have to wait for a stint of clear weather, but I am patient (and if you believe that, I have this long red bridge for sale in San Fran for sale). 

Still looking into getting a more robust EQ mount. Found a great price on an EQ5, Dual Axis motor drive capable.  Just have to save up a bit longer to get it.

It's a Dick Smith Electronics Webcam (light grey and blue). Got one in Fremantle for about $30, and it was very easy to modify it. You will have to get an adaptor.

ahhhh different from what I had interpreted.
still, nifty that you can put a webcam at the end of a standard lens.

And it's cheap as all get out (compared to buying a CCD camera) Total cost $65 AUD. :) I love a good bargain, almost as much as i love a good backrub. :D
