I helped my daughter build a 6" Dobsonian telescope for a science project and then I got hooked briefly on astro photography using a $10 web cam and free image stacking software. Here are some pictures I took of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the moon:

There is a Yahoo Group for this topic called Quick Cam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group. I am leaving town until next Wednesday but would be glad to talk to you about this stuff when I get back.
