It's called "prime focus"

I'm still battling with clouds!!! I have yet to take a single photo, without a cloud obscuring my vision!

Getting a handle on the webcam settings!

Best thing this far, is "prime focus". Which basically means - you have no secondary lens, only a primary. It seems to work rather well! Registax certainly likes it a lot more.

There is of course some minor touching up being done (unsharp mask, change to b&w - and dropping images down to 320x240 from 640x480)

Getting better already....

I've been reading up on astrophotography a bit.

Modified my logitech webcam to have a bit of a nicer fit. Used framestacking with Registax
It also helped that it wasn't AS cloudy. But I'm still taking photos through clouds.

First time!

Not much to look at. But this is my first photo, taken with a webcam. With this, I now officially have become a webcam astrophotographer.

For the technically inclined, it was taken with a crappy 4" newtonian telescope, with the moon low on the horizon, and partially obscured by clouds. (It's been raining for weeks!) I still have to find the exact specs of the webcam...

I'm still waiting for my kick ass celestron to be delivered, so I got frustrated, and starting playing with toys that I can hook up to it.
